Diffusivity-Factor Approximation for Spectral Outgoing Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAccurate integration of directional radiance shows that the conventional diffusivity-factor approximation with a constant diffusivity angle results in an overestimation of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) in ...
Cloud-Assisted Retrieval of Lower-Stratospheric Water Vapor from Nadir-View Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the feasibility of retrieving lower-stratospheric water vapor using a nadir infrared hyperspectrometer, with the focus on the detectability of small-scale water vapor variability. The feasibility ...
Effect of Distraction on Hazard Recognition and Safety Risk Perception
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Both hazard recognition and safety risk perception are fundamental to effective safety management. When construction hazards remain unrecognized or the associated safety risk remains unperceived, the likelihood of human ...
Propagating and Nonpropagating MJO Events over Maritime Continent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he observed outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and ERA-Interim data during 1979?2008 (from November to April) were analyzed to reveal fundamental differences between eastward-propagating (EP) and nonpropagating (NP) MJO ...
