Abstract: The local meteorological events leading up to the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis on 2 August 1991 ware captured in full-resolution GOES visible data being archived for the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification ...

Abstract: Analysis of surface latent heat flux measurements taken within the sea-breeze front of the coast of Florida during active thunderstorm periods demonstrates an important effect of the timing of coastal storms on the seasonal ...

Abstract: Observations taken by two surface radiation and energy budget stations deployed in the University of Florida/Institute for Food and Agricultural Service experimental citrus orchard in Gainesville, Florida, have been analyzed ...

Abstract: Surface, aircraft, and satellite observations are analyzed for the 21-day 1989 intensive field campaign of the First ISLSCP Field Experiment (FIFE) to determine the effect of precipitation, vegetation, and soil moisture ...

Abstract: A simulation of the appearance of an intense hailstorm in the passive microwave spectrum is conducted in order to characterize the vertical sources of radiation that contribute to the top-of-atmosphere microwave brightness ...

Abstract: A cloud-radiation model is used to investigate the relationship between emerging microwave brightness temperatures (TB's) and vertically distributed mixtures of liquid and frozen hydrometeors as a means to establish the ...

Abstract: Recently, there has been growing emphasis on improving surface flux inputs to mesoscale models and general circulation models. Since there is presently no operational network providing this information, we have conducted ...

Abstract: In this first part of a two-part investigation, large-scale Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) analyses over the Amazônia region have been carried out for March and October of 1999 to provide detailed ...
