Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Radiometric and Radiosonde Observations in an Arctic Environment

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2008:;volume( 025 ):;issue: 010:;page 1768

Author(s): Mattioli, V.; Westwater, E. R.; Cimini, D.; Gasiewski, A. J.; Klein, M.; Leuski, V. Y.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: In a recent paper by Mattioli et al., a significant difference was observed between upper-tropospheric and lower-stratospheric water vapor profiles as observed by two radiosonde systems operating in the Arctic. The first ...

Exploiting Existing Ground-Based Remote Sensing Networks to Improve High-Resolution Weather Forecasts

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2015:;volume( 096 ):;issue: 012:;page 2107

Author(s): Illingworth, A. J.; Cimini, D.; Gaffard, C.; Haeffelin, M.; Lehmann, V.; Löhnert, U.; O’Connor, E. J.; Ruffieux, D.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: new generation of high-resolution (1 km) forecast models promises to revolutionize the prediction of hazardous weather such as windstorms, flash floods, and poor air quality. To realize this promise, a dense observing ...

Ground-Based Passive Microwave Profiling during Dynamic Weather Conditions

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2009:;volume( 026 ):;issue: 006:;page 1057

Author(s): Knupp, K. R.; Coleman, T.; Phillips, D.; Ware, R.; Cimini, D.; Vandenberghe, F.; Vivekanandan, J.; Westwater, E.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Short-period (1?5 min) temperature and humidity soundings up to 10-km height are retrieved from ground-based 12-channel microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) observations. In contrast to radiosondes, the radiometric retrievals ...

Analysis of Radiosonde and Ground-Based Remotely Sensed PWV Data from the 2004 North Slope of Alaska Arctic Winter Radiometric Experiment

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2007:;volume( 024 ):;issue: 003:;page 415

Author(s): Mattioli, V.; Westwater, E. R.; Cimini, D.; Liljegren, J. C.; Lesht, B. M.; Gutman, S. I.; Schmidlin, F. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: During 9 March?9 April 2004, the North Slope of Alaska Arctic Winter Radiometric Experiment was conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program?s (ARM) ?Great White? field site near Barrow, Alaska. The major ...

How Can Existing Ground-Based Profiling Instruments Improve European Weather Forecasts?

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2018:;volume 100:;issue 004:;page 605

Author(s): Illingworth, A. J.; Cimini, D.; Haefele, A.; Haeffelin, M.; Hervo, M.; Kotthaus, S.; Löhnert, U.; Martinet, P.; Mattis, I.; O’Connor, E. J.; Potthast, R.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractTo realize the promise of improved predictions of hazardous weather such as flash floods, wind storms, fog, and poor air quality from high-resolution mesoscale models, the forecast models must be initialized with ...

Author(s): Bodeker, G. E.; Bojinski, S.; Cimini, D.; Dirksen, R. J.; Haeffelin, M.; Hannigan, J. W.; Hurst, D. F.; Leblanc, T.; Madonna, F.; Maturilli, M.; Mikalsen, A. C.; Philipona, R.; Reale, T.; Seidel, D. J.; Tan, D. G. H.; Thorne, P. W.; Vömel, H.; Wang, J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: he three main objectives of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN) are to provide long-term high-quality climate records of vertical profiles of selected essential climate variables ...
