RISWhen Was The Hottest Summer? A State Climatologist Struggles for an Answer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To answer this very common though surprisingly difficult question, a technique was developed to reconstruct a local temperature time series of summer average maximum temperatures in northcentral Alabama since 1893. The ...
Monthly Temperature Observations for Uganda
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he International Surface Temperature Initiative is a worldwide effort to locate weather observations, digitize them for public access, and attach provenance to them. As part of that effort, this study sought documents of ...
Searching for Information in 133 Years of California Snowfall Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onthly snowfall totals from over 500 stations in California, some of which date back to 1878, are examined. Most data were accessed through the NOAA archive, but several thousand station months of data were separately keyed ...
Reply to “Comments on ‘Searching for Information in 133 Years of California Snowfall Observations’”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oats raises issues regarding the utility of the snowfall metric presented by Christy in ?Searching for information in 133 years of California snowfall observations,? suggesting that variance issues need more attention and ...
The Influences of TOVS Radiance Assimilation on Temperature and Moisture Tendencies in JRA-25 and ERA-40
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Japanese long-term reanalysis (JRA-25) was completed in 2006 utilizing the comprehensive set of observations from the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40). JRA-25 and ERA-40 adopted the same type of assimilation systems: ...
Precision Lower Stratospheric Temperature Monitoring with the MSU: Technique, Validation, and Results 1979–1991
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microwave Sounding Unit channel 4 data from the TIROS-N series of NOAA satellites are intercalibrated to provide a continuous global record of deep-layer averaged lower stratospheric temperatures during 1979?1991. A 13-year ...
Variability in Daily, Zonal Mean Lower-Stratospheric Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite data from the microwave sounding unit (MSU) channel 4, when carefully merged, provide daily zonal anomalies of lower-stratosphere temperature with a level of precision between 0.01° and 0.08°C per 2.5° latitude ...
Discontinuity Issues with Radiosonde and Satellite Temperatures in the Australian Region 1979–2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature records of 28 Australian radiosonde stations were compared with the bulk-layer temperatures of three satellite products of The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) for ...
Comments on “A Bias in the Midtropospheric Channel Warm Target Factor on the NOAA-9 Microwave Sounding Unit”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o-Chedley and Fu investigated the difference in the magnitude of global temperature trends generated from the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) for the midtroposphere (TMT, surface to about 75 hPa) between the University of ...
Satellite and VIZ–Radiosonde Intercomparisons for Diagnosis of Nonclimatic Influences
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosonde datasets of temperature often suffer from discontinuities due to changes in instrumentation, location, observing practices, and algorithms. To identify temporal discontinuities that affect the VIZ/Sippican family ...
