Using Random Effects to Build Impact Models When the Available Historical Record Is Short
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he analysis of the affect of weather and climate on human activities requires the construction of impact models that are able to describe the complex links between weather and socioeconomic data. In practice, one of the ...
Combining Datasets of Satellite-Retrieved Products. Part I: Methodology and Water Budget Closure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study addresses in general terms the problem of the optimal combination of multiple observation datasets. Only satellite-retrieved geophysical parameter datasets are considered here (not the raw satellite observations). ...
Synergizing AI and Physical Expertise to Close the Water Budget from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Cluster Analysis of Cloud Properties over the Southern European Mediterranean Area in Observations and a Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates how satellite observations of the cloudiness over a complex area such as the European Mediterranean area can be classified into distinct cloud regimes by application of a K-means clustering algorithm ...
Statistical Weather-Impact Models: An Application of Neural Networks and Mixed Effects for Corn Production over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tatistical meteorological impact models are intended to represent the impact of weather on socioeconomic activities, using a statistical approach. The calibration of such models is difficult because relationships are complex ...
Land Surface Microwave Emissivities over the Globe for a Decade
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microwave land surface emissivities have been calculated over the globe for ?10 yr between 19 and 85 GHz at 53° incidence angle for both orthogonal polarizations, using satellite observations from the Special Sensor Microwave ...
Rotation of EOFs by the Independent Component Analysis: Toward a Solution of the Mixing Problem in the Decomposition of Geophysical Time Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a recently developed technique for component extraction. This new method requires the statistical independence of the extracted components?a stronger constraint that uses ...
A Long-Term, High-Resolution Wetland Dataset over the Amazon Basin, Downscaled from a Multiwavelength Retrieval Using SAR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: climatology of wetlands has been derived at a low spatial resolution (0.25° ? 0.25° equal-area grid) over a 15-yr period by combining visible and near-infrared satellite observations and passive and active microwaves. The ...
An Innovative Calibration Method for the Inversion of Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Retrieval schemes often use two important components: 1) a radiative transfer model (RTM) inside the retrieval procedure or to construct the learning dataset for the training of the statistical retrieval algorithms and 2) ...
A Regularized Neural Net Approach for Retrieval of Atmospheric and Surface Temperatures with the IASI Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a fast atmospheric and surface temperature retrieval algorithm is developed for the high-resolution Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) spaceborne instrument. This algorithm is constructed ...
