Quantifying Marine Boundary Layer Water Vapor beneath Low Clouds with Near-Infrared and Microwave Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the synergy of collocated microwave radiometry and near-infrared imagery to estimate the marine boundary layer water vapor beneath uniform cloud fields. Microwave radiometry provides the total column ...
Excitation and Evolution of the Quasi-2-Day Wave Observed in UARS/MLS Temperature Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The quasi-2-day wave is known as a strong and transient perturbation in the middle and upper atmosphere that often occurs shortly after solstice. The excitation mechanisms of this transient wave have been discussed for ...
The 4-Day Wave as Observed from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite Microwave Limb Sounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ?4-day wave? is an eastward moving quasi-nondispersive feature with period near 4 days occurring near the winter polar stratopause. This paper presents evidence of the 4-day feature in Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) ...
Radiance Comparisons of MODIS and AIRS Using Spatial Response Information
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The combination of multiple satellite instruments on a pixel-by-pixel basis is a difficult task, even for instruments collocated in space and time, such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ...
Spectral Signatures of Polar Stratospheric Clouds and Sulfate Aerosol
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiwavelength observations of Antarctic and midlatitude aerosol by the Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) experiment on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are used to demonstrate a technique that ...
