RISBarotropic Instability with Divergence: Theory and Applications to Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared images of Venus reveal a curious double-lobed hot spot in the polar region. Elson has suggested that this ?dipole? represents a barotropic instability associated with a high-latitude jet. Unfortunately, the classical ...
The MISR Calibration Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is currently under development for NASA's Earth Observing System. The instrument consists of nine pushbroom cameras, each with four spectral bands in the visible and ...
Toward Cloud Tomography from Space Using MISR and MODIS: Locating the “Veiled Core” in Opaque Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Assessment of MISR Cloud Motion Vectors (CMVs) Relative to GOES and MODIS Atmospheric Motion Vectors (AMVs)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud motion vector (CMV) winds retrieved from the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on the polar-orbiting Terra satellite from 2003 to 2008 are compared with collocated atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) ...
Scientific Objectives, Measurement Needs, and Challenges Motivating the PARAGON Aerosol Initiative
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosols are involved in a complex set of processes that operate across many spatial and temporal scales. Understanding these processes, and ensuring their accurate representation in models of transport, radiation transfer, ...
New Directions in Earth Observing: Scientific Applications ofMultiangle Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical interpretation of simultaneous multiangle observations represents a relatively new approach to remote sensing of terrestrial geophysical and biophysical parameters. Multiangle measurements enable retrieval of ...
Integrating and Interpreting Aerosol Observations and Models within the PARAGON Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Given the breadth and complexity of available data, constructing a measurement-based description of global tropospheric aerosols that will effectively confront and constrain global three-dimensional models is a daunting ...
Aerosol Data Sources and Their Roles within PARAGON
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We briefly but systematically review major sources of aerosol data, emphasizing suites of measurements that seem most likely to contribute to assessments of global aerosol climate forcing. The strengths and limitations of ...
MISR Calibration and Implications for Low-Light-Level Aerosol Retrieval over Dark Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Studying aerosols over ocean is one goal of the Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and other spaceborne imaging systems. But top-of-atmosphere equivalent reflectance typically falls in the range of 0.03 to 0.12 ...
Using the PARAGON Framework to Establish an Accurate, Consistent, and Cohesive Long-Term Aerosol Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive and cohesive aerosol measurement record with consistent, well-understood uncertainties is a prerequisite to understanding aerosol impacts on long-term climate and environmental variability. Objectives to ...
