RISA Comparison of Latent Heat Fluxes over Global Oceans for Four Flux Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean surface latent heat flux (LHF) plays an essential role in global energy and water cycle variability. In this study, monthly LHF over global oceans during 1992?93 are compared among Goddard Satellite-Based Surface ...
Surface Turbulent Heat and Momentum Fluxes over Global Oceans Based on the Goddard Satellite Retrievals, Version 2 (GSSTF2)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Information on the turbulent fluxes of momentum, latent heat, and sensible heat at the air?sea interface is essential in improving model simulations of climate variations and in climate studies. A 13.5-yr (July 1987?December ...
Estimates of Surface Humidity and Latent Heat Fluxes over Oceans from SSM/I Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly averages of daily latent heat fluxes over the oceans for February and August 1988 are estimated using a stability-dependent bulk scheme. Daily fluxes are computed from daily SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave/Imager) ...
Assimilation of SSM/I-Derived Surface Rainfall and Total Precipitable Water for Improving the GEOS Analysis for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article describes a variational framework for assimilating the SSM/I-derived surface rain rate and total precipitable water (TPW) and examines their impact on the analysis produced by the Goddard Earth Observing System ...
Lidar-Measured Winds from Space: A Key Component for Weather and Climate Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deployment of a space-based Doppler lidar would provide information that is fundamental to advancing the understanding and prediction of weather and climate. This paper reviews the concepts of wind measurement by Doppler ...
