Abstract: The infrared flux expressions, both upward and downward at an arbitrary reference level, are presented for two computational models. In one model the stipulated cloud and terrain surfaces are nontransparent, but not ...

Abstract: A basic objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of medium-resolution satellite radiation measurements to assessments of the diabatic heating and cooling within the atmosphere. Data from portions of TIROS ...

Abstract: A ruby lidar was mounted in an aircraft to obtain measurements of cirrus and haze layers concurrently with an airborne infrared radiometer during Project BOMEX in July 1969. The capability of the lidar for detecting cirrus ...

Abstract: With the aid of recent climatological data and laboratory radiation data, a meridional heat budget has been formed for the atmosphere below the 25-mb level and between 2ON and 7ON latitude. The significant components and ...

Abstract: An algorithm for the remote sensing of global cloud cover using multispectral radiance measurements from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on board National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ...

Abstract: An automated pixel-scale algorithm has been developed to retrieve cloud type, related cloud layer(s), and the fractional coverages for all cloud layers in each AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) pixel at ...
