Clustering a Global Field of Atmospheric Profiles by Mixture Decomposition of Copulas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work focuses on the clustering of a large dataset of atmospheric vertical profiles of temperature and humidity in order to model a priori information for the problem of retrieving atmospheric variables from satellite ...
Rotation of EOFs by the Independent Component Analysis: Toward a Solution of the Mixing Problem in the Decomposition of Geophysical Time Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a recently developed technique for component extraction. This new method requires the statistical independence of the extracted components?a stronger constraint that uses ...
Depiction of Upper-Level Precursors of the December 1999 Storms from TOVS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At the end of December 1999, two extremely severe storms only one day apart affected western Europe and caused considerable damage. A variable derived from satellite observations, the so-called temperature of the lower ...
A Regularized Neural Net Approach for Retrieval of Atmospheric and Surface Temperatures with the IASI Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a fast atmospheric and surface temperature retrieval algorithm is developed for the high-resolution Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) spaceborne instrument. This algorithm is constructed ...
Infrared Continental Surface Emissivity Spectra and Skin Temperature Retrieved from IASI Observations over the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and surface temperature and emissivity spectra are essential variables for improving models of the earth surface?atmosphere interaction or retrievals of atmospheric variables such as thermodynamic profiles, chemical ...
Signatures of Annual and Seasonal Variations of CO2 and Other Greenhouse Gases from Comparisons between NOAA TOVS Observations and Radiation Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since 1979, sensors on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of polar meteorological satellites have provided continuous measurements of the earth's surface and atmosphere. One of these ...
Characteristics of the TOVS Pathfinder Path-B Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 1979 to present, sensors aboard the NOAA series of polar meteorological satellites have provided continuous measurements of the earth's surface and atmosphere. One of these sensors, the TIROS-N Operational Vertical ...
