A Hydrological Analysis of East Australian Floods Using Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The chronological development and diminution of six floods in eastern Australia during January, February, and March 1974 were mapped for the first time by the Nimbus Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR). Day ...
Meteorological applications of the Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer, 6.7 Micron Channel Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mid-tropospheric circulation features under essentially clear sky conditions have been noted in the data of the 6.7 ?m channel of the Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) while at the same time these ...
Application of Nimbus 4 THIR 6.7 μm Observations to Regional and Global Moisutre and Wind Field Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) monitors radiation in the 6.5?7.2 ?m water vapor absorption region with a 23-km spatial resolution at the sub-satelite point. Radiation monitored in this spectral ...
Examples of the Meteorological Capability of the High Resolution Infrared Radiometer on the Nimbus I Satellite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) carried by the Nimbus I meteorological Satellite provided detailed nighttime cloud information in the vertical as well as in the horizontal dimension. When the instantaneous ...
Remote Sensing of Ocean Currents and Sea Surface Temperature Changes Derived from the Nimbus II Satellite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nimbus II High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) data, sensitive in the 3.4?4.2 ? window, were analyzed over several oceanic regions. Current boundaries such as the north wall of the Gulf Stream have been located ...
Tropical Cyclone Rainfall as Measured By the Nimbus Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A selected group of 1973 North Pacific Ocean tropical cyclones was studied by using data from the Nimbus 5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR), the Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR), NOAA-2 and ...
Meteorological Results from Multi-Spectral Photometry in Airglow Bands by the OGO-4 Satellite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The presence or absence of clouds, their characteristics, and variations of surface albedo have been correlated with observations made at several different wavelengths in the visible spectrum. These were made at high and ...
