RISViewing Geometry Dependencies in MODIS Cloud Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Characterizing the earth?s global cloud field is important for the proper assessment of the global radiation budget and hydrologic cycle. This characterization can only be achieved with satellite measurements. For complete ...
A Unique Satellite Perspective of the 13–14 January 2004 Record Cold Outbreak in the Northeast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cold, dry arctic air mass occupied southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States on 13?14 January 2004. This air mass was quite dry?total column precipitable water values at Pickle Lake, Ontario, Canada, and The ...
Climate Parameters from Satellite Spectral Measurements. Part 1: Collocated AVHRR and HIRS/2 Observations of Spectral Greenhouse Parameter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated method of monitoring various climate parameters using collocated Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and High-Resolution Infrared Sounder-2 (HIRS/2) observations has been developed. The method, ...
Understanding Satellite-Observed Mountain-Wave Signatures Using High-Resolution Numerical Model Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prior work has shown that pilot reports of severe turbulence over Colorado often occur when complex interference or crossing wave patterns are present in satellite water vapor imagery downstream of the Rocky Mountains. To ...
Mountain Wave Signatures in MODIS 6.7-μm Imagery and Their Relation to Pilot Reports of Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for nowcasting turbulent mountain waves over the Front Range of the state of Colorado is investigated using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) water vapor (6.7 ?m) channel imagery. Pilot ...
Convectively Induced Transverse Band Signatures in Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transverse cirrus bands have commonly been observed in the outflow of thunderstorms, though little literature exists on the subject. The primary objective of this paper is to characterize the transverse band signature in ...
Cloud Phase Determination Using Ground-Based AERI Observations at SHEBA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique for ascertaining the thermodynamic cloud phase from high-spectral-resolution ground-based infrared measurements made by the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) is presented. This technique ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Spectrometry during FIRE II. Part II: Aircraft HIS Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper parts analysis of cloud observations by the High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder made from the NASA ER-2 aircraft during FIRE II. Clear and cloudy sky radiance spectra are presented in terms of differences ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Spectrometry during FIRE II. Part III: Ground-Based HIS Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During FIRE II, cirrus clouds were observed in the wavelength range 3?19, µm with two High Resolution Interferometer Sounders as described in the Part I companion paper. One, known as AC-HIS, was mounted on the NASA ER-2 ...
Cloud Detection with MODIS. Part II: Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assessment of the performance of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud mask algorithm for Terra and Aqua satellites is presented. The MODIS cloud mask algorithm output is compared with lidar ...
