Observations of Bora Events over the Adriatic Sea and Black Sea by Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bora events over the Adriatic Sea and Black Sea are investigated by using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired by the advanced SAR (ASAR) on board the European satellite Envisat. It is shown that the sea surface ...
Roll Convection within an Arctic Cold-Air Outbreak: Interpretation of In Situ Aircraft Measurements and Spaceborne SAR Imagery by a Three-Dimensional Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric roll convection within an Arctic cold-air outbreak was observed over the Greenland Sea during the ARKTIS 1993 experiment on 24 March 1993 by in situ aircraft measurements and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ...
Internal Waves in the Strait of Messina Studied by a Numerical Model and Synthetic Aperture Radar Images from the ERS 1/2 Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new numerical two-layer model is presented, which describes the generation of internal tidal bores and their disintegration into internal solitary waves in the Strait of Messina. This model is used to explain observations ...
Encounter of Foehn Wind with an Atmospheric Eddy over the Black Sea as Observed by the Synthetic Aperture Radar Onboard Envisat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oehn wind blowing through the Kolkhida (Kolkheti) Lowland in the southwestern Caucasus (western Georgia) was observed on an Envisat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image as it encountered an atmospheric cyclonic eddy over ...
The Rhine Outflow Plume Studied by the Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar Data and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics of the Rhine outflow plume in the proximity of the river mouth is investigated by using remote sensing data and numerical simulations. The remote sensing data consist of 41 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images ...
Evidence for the Influence of Atlantic–Ionian Stream Fluctuations on the Tidally Induced Internal Dynamics in the Strait of Messina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 24 and 25 October 1995, high-resolution oceanographic measurements were carried out in the Strait of Messina by using a towed conductivity-temperature-depth chain and a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler. ...
Atmospheric Fronts along the East Coast of Taiwan Studied by ERS Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of quasi-stationary alongshore atmospheric fronts typically located 30?70 km off the east coast of Taiwan is demonstrated by analyzing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the sea surface acquired by the ...
On the Origin of Atmospheric Frontal Lines off the East Coast of Taiwan Observed on Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frontal lines having offshore distances typically between 40 and 80 km are often visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired over the east coast of Taiwan by the European Remote Sensing Satellites 1 and 2 ...
