Abstract: A monitoring of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model with the Meteosat infrared window channel during December 2000 is presented. The Meteosat images are simulated every 3 h during the 31 ...

Abstract: The vertical distribution of the clear sky longwave cooling of the atmosphere over tropical oceans is inferred from three different datasets. Two of the datasets refer to the TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) ...

Abstract: The global observation network of the atmospheric broadband radiation reached an unprecedent extent in 1998 with the simultaneous availability of longwave and shortwave measurements of the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant ...

Abstract: The authors have investigated the possibility of elaborating a new generation of radiative transfer models for climate studies based on the neural network technique. The authors show that their neural network?based model, ...

Abstract: At a time when a new generation of satellite vertical sounders is going to be launched (including the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and Advanced Infrared Radiometric Sounder instruments), this paper assesses ...

Abstract: Radiation observations are a key element in the evaluation of the 40-yr reanalysis at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. This paper uses the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder/2 (HIRS/2) and ...

Abstract: The Global and Regional Earth System Monitoring Using Satellite and In Situ Data (GEMS) project is combining the manifold expertise in atmospheric composition research and numerical weather prediction of 32 European ...
