RISStability of the MSU-Derived Atmospheric Temperature Trend
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Warm target effect and diurnal drift errors are the main sources of uncertainties in the trend determination from the NOAA Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) observations. Currently, there are two methods to correct the warm ...
AMSU-A-Only Atmospheric Temperature Data Records from the Lower Troposphere to the Top of the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A, 1998?present) not only continues but surpasses the Microwave Sounding Unit?s (MSU, 1978?2006) capability in atmospheric temperature observation. It provides valuable satellite ...
Construction of Stratospheric Temperature Data Records from Stratospheric Sounding Units
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n recognizing the importance of Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU) onboard historical NOAA polar-orbiting satellites in assessment of long-term stratospheric temperature changes and limitations in previous available SSU ...
Atmospheric Wind Retrievals from Satellite Soundings over the Middle- and High-Latitude Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique that uses satellite-based surface wind and temperature soundings for deriving three-dimensional atmospheric wind fields is developed for climate studies over the middle- and high-latitude oceans. In this ...
The Role of Conservation of Mass in the Satellite-Derived Poleward Moisture Transport over the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Poleward meridional moisture transport across the Southern Ocean during 1988 is investigated by applying conservation of mass to the wind derivation approach of Slonaker and Van Woert. The moisture field is from the ...
Parameterization of the Meridional Eddy Heat and Momentum Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Green?s eddy diffusive transfer representation is used to parameterize the meridional eddy heat flux. The structural function obtained by Branscome for the diagonal component Kyy in the tensor of the transfer coefficients ...
Error Structure and Atmospheric Temperature Trends in Observations from the Microwave Sounding Unit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) onboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration polar-orbiting satellites measures the atmospheric temperature from the surface to the lower stratosphere under all weather ...
Integration of Genetic Programing With Genetic Algorithm for Correlating Heat Transfer Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present paper, the genetic programing (GP) is integrated with the genetic algorithm (GA) for deriving heat transfer correlations. In the process of developing heat transfer correlations with the approach (GP with ...
Arctic Tropospheric Winds Derived from TOVS Satellite Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate three-dimensional wind fields are essential for diagnosing a variety of important climate processes in the Arctic, such as the advection and deposition of heat and moisture, changes in circulation features, and ...
Temperature Distributions in Geogrid-Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls Subjected to Seasonal Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls have been widely adopted in engineering practice based on the development of several design methods. However, the temperature effect, which was proved to be an important ...
