Variation of Antarctic Sea Ice: An Update
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of Antarctic sea ice area for the period 1973 to the 30th week of 1982 showed that after a decrease from 1973 to 1980, the total sea ice area had increased. Sea ice area in the Atlantic sector decreased from 1973 ...
Microwave Emission Brightness Temperature Histograms (METH) Rain Rates for Climate Studies: Remote Sensing Systems SSM/I Version-6 Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A satellite microwave emission brightness temperature histograms (METH) technique has been applied to Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data taken on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites ...
Thailand Daily Rainfall and Comparison with TRMM Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily rainfall data collected from more than 100 gauges over Thailand for the period 1993?2002 are used to study the climatology and spatial and temporal characteristics of Thailand rainfall variations. Comparison of the ...
Development of Statistical Typhoon Intensity Prediction: Application to Satellite-Observed Surface Evaporation and Rain Rate (STIPER)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: statistical?dynamical model has been used for operational guidance for tropical cyclone (TC) intensity prediction. In this study, several multiple linear regression models and neural network (NN) models are developed for ...
Acoustic Emission Waves in Perfect-Bonded Bimaterial Plates: Numerical Simulations and Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper utilized finite difference schemes to simulate the propagation of acoustic emission (AE) waves in isotropic, anisotropic plates as well as perfect-bonded bimaterial composite plates. ...
Effects of TRMM Boost on Oceanic Rainfall Estimates Based on Microwave Emission Brightness Temperature Histograms (METH)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physical?statistical algorithm for estimating space?time average oceanic rainfall has been applied to microwave measurements taken by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite ...
Oceanic Rain Column Height Derived from SSM/I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climatology of oceanic rain column height derived from 12 years (July 1987?June 1999) of Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data is presented. The estimation procedure is based on a technique developed by Wilheit ...
Nonsystematic Errors of Monthly Oceanic Rainfall Derived from SSM/I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: About 10 yr (July 1987?December 1997 with December 1987 missing) of oceanic monthly rainfall based on data taken by the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites ...
An Analysis of the Threshold Method for Measuring Area-Average Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experomental evidence shows that the area-average rain rate and the fractional area covered by rain rate exceeding a fixed threshold are highly correlated; that is, are highly linearly related. A precise theoretical ...
Satellite Air–Sea Enthalpy Flux and Intensity Change of Tropical Cyclones over the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n improved high-resolution satellite enthalpy flux dataset is employed to study the composites of initial (i.e., t = 0 h) latent heat flux (LHF), sensible heat flux (SHF), and their bulk variables associated with four ...
