Abstract: The use of the mesoscale model described and qualified in Part I is arranged with radiative transfer codes for the simulation of the thermal infrared response of Meteosat from a Sahelian target. The sensitivity of the ...

Abstract: A method for computing the ground surface heat flux density is tested at two places in West Africa during the rainy season and during the dry season. This method is based upon the Fourier analysis of the experimental ground ...

Abstract: Simulations are carded out to verify a mesoscale model in order to perform sensitivity tests of satellite response to atmospheric dust content. The model chosen is the mesoscale model of Colorado State University with a ...
