Global Satellite Observations of Negative Brightness Temperature Differences between 11 and 6.7 µm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global analyses of satellite spectral observations indicate the existence of negative brightness temperature differences between 11 and 6.7 µm (BT11 ?BT6.7) when cold scenes are viewed. Differences are typically greater ...
Radiative Effects of Airborne Dust on Regional Energy Budgets at the Top of the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of dust on the radiative energy budget at the top of the atmosphere were investigated using model calculations and measurements from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). Estimates of the dust optical ...
Radiation Energy Budget Studies Using Collocated AVHRR and ERBE Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes in the energy balance at the top of the atmosphere are specified as a function of atmospheric and surface properties using observations from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVURR) and the Earth Radiation ...
Radiative Energy Budget Estimates for the 1979 Southwest Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Obsemations of temperature moisture, cloud amount, cloud height and soil-derived aerosols are incorporated into radiative transfer models to yield estimates of the tropospheric and surface radiative energy budgets for the ...
Cloud Classification of Satellite Radiance Data by Multicategory Support Vector Machines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-category support vector machines (SVMs) have become very popular in the machine learning community for classification problems and have recently been shown to have good optimality properties for classification purposes. ...
The Absorption of Solar Radiation by Cloud Droplets: An Application of Anomalous Diffraction Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate that the anomalous diffraction theory of van de Hulst with some modifications, provides a reasonable approximation of the volume extinction and absorption coefficients. We also show how the ...
What Do Introductory Meteorology Students Want to Learn?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 2002 and 2003, surveys of introductory meteorology students were conducted at the University of Georgia and the University of Wisconsin?Madison. These surveys asked which one question about weather and climate each ...
GATE phase III Mean Synoptic-Scale Radiative Convergence Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropospheric radiative convergence profiles are derived for an easterly wave composite during Phase III of the GATE. The easterly waves observed during this period were generally well developed. The profiles also represent ...
