Global Observing System Experiments on Operational Statistical Retrievals of Satellite Sounding Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We report an observing system experiment on satellite sounding data during a 15.5-day period in January?February 1987, using the operational European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) system as it was in ...
Global Data Assimilation and Forecast Experiments Using the Improved Initialization Inversion Method for Satellite Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is an evaluation of a retrieval, data assimilation, and forecast experiment on satellite sounding data from the NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 polar orbiting satellites during a 15.5 day period in January?February 1987. Retrievals ...
Quality Control of Operational Physical Retrievals of Satellite Sounding Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Earlier work identified serious errors and biases in the operational temperature and moisture satellite retrievals produced by statistical methods. We show that similar errors and biases are found in the physical retrievals ...
The ONSAM Experiment: Remote Sensing Techniques for Vertical Sounding of the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ONSala Atmospheric Measurement program was carried out in May 1983 in order to test the performance of new remote sensing equipment, compared with radiosondes launched for this particular program. A temperature profiling ...
