Variance Ratios, Loss of Energy and Regression in Satellite Temperature Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several recent papers have reported that temperatures from satellites lack the variance found in radiosonde temperatures. Because of these results, we performed an experiment to distinguish between limitations of the ...
Using MODIS to Estimate Cloud Contamination of the AVHRR Data Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the improvement in cloud-masking capability of data from a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) relative to data from an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is performed. MODIS ...
Determination of Atmospheric Temperature Profiles from a Statistical Combination of Ground-Based Profiler and Operational NOAA 6/7 Satellite Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiometric soundings from the Wave Propagation Laboratory's ground-based Profiler, the NOAA 6/7 satellites, and the combination of the two, were compared in their ability to derive temperature and moisture profiles. ...
