RISLabrador Sea Water Tracked by Profiling Floats—From the Boundary Current into the Open North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fifteen profiling floats were injected into the deep boundary current off Labrador. They were ballasted to drift in the core depth of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) at 1500-m depth and were deployed in two groups during March ...
Remote Sensing of Multilayer Cloud-Top Pressure Using Combined Measurements of MERIS and AATSR on board Envisat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel and unique algorithm for the retrieval of multilayer cloud-top pressure is presented, relying on synergetic observations of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) and Advanced Along Track Scanning ...
Empirical Correction of Stray Light within the MERIS Oxygen A-Band Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spaceborne spectrometers like the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on board the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) are widely used for the remote sensing of atmospheric and oceanic properties and make an ...
The Retrieval of Land Surface Pressure from MERIS Measurements in the Oxygen A Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the Medium-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) are used for the retrieval of surface pressure above land and ice surfaces. The algorithm is based on the exploitation ...
Large-Amplitude Internal Solitary Waves in the North Equatorial Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The analysis of high-resolution oceanographic data referring to velocity measurements carried out by means of a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler on 12 November 2000 in the equatorial Atlantic, at 44°W between ...
Boundary Circulation at the Exit of the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep circulation and related transports of the southern Labrador Sea are determined from direct current observations from ship surveys and a moored current-meter array. The measurements covered a time span from summer ...
Transports and Pathways of the Upper-Layer Circulation in the Western Tropical Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean warm water transfer toward the equator along the western boundary of the South Atlantic is investigated, based on a number of ship surveys carried out during 1990?96 with CTD water mass observations and current ...
Surveying the Upper Ocean with the Ocean Surveyor: A New Phased Array Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new shipboard current profiler, a 75-kHz ocean surveyor, was operationally used during two research cruises in the tropical Atlantic and the subpolar North Atlantic, respectively. Here, a report is presented on the first ...
An Algorithm for the Retrieval of Droplet Number Concentration and Geometrical Thickness of Stratiform Marine Boundary Layer Clouds Applied to MODIS Radiometric Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Algorithms are now currently used for the retrieval of cloud optical thickness and droplet effective radius from multispectral radiance measurements. This paper extends their application to the retrieval of cloud droplet ...
Validation of MERIS Cloud-Top Pressure Using Airborne Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of a validation of the European Space Agency?s (ESA) operational Medium-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) cloud-top pressure (CTP) product by airborne lidar measurements are presented. MERIS, mounted on ...
