Abstract: Computed tomography is a medical diagnostic technique in which x-ray transmission measurements at numerous angles through the human body are processed by computer to produce cross-sectional pictures of the body. A modification ...

Abstract: In the design of satellite sounding instruments there are many factors that determine the accuracies of the retrieved temperature and moisture profiles. However, the three major factors are: instrument noise, number of ...

Abstract: An algorithm for generating deep-layer mean temperatures from satellite-observed microwave observations is presented. Unlike traditional temperature retrieval methods, this algorithm does not require a first guess temperature ...

Abstract: It is generally assumed that atmospheric transmittance functions are known to an accuracy of no better than about five to ten percent. Consequently, one can expect a major impact of these errors on temperature retrieves ...

Abstract: Layer-mean virtual temperatures retrieved from satellite measurements are more accurate than retrievals at specific pressure not only because an averaging process is involved, but also because of advantages in the retrieval ...
