Abstract: Some of the more striking examples of cloud phenomena revealed by the first pictures that have come from the experimental weather satellite, TIROS I, are presented, and broad-scale patterns in the pictures are interpreted ...

Abstract: Radiances emitted from the atmosphere near 669.3 cm?1 in the center of the 15-µm CO2 band were measured from the Nimbus 3 satellite. Changes in observed radiance correspond to weighted temperature changes of the upper 100 ...

Abstract: On the basis of satellite and other types of information, it is shown, both on observational and theoretical grounds, that cirrus clouds have a higher transmission for radiation at 10 ? than for radiation at 6 ?. Thus, in ...

Abstract: The radiances in the CO2 band centered at 669.3 cm?1 (15 ?), measured by the satellite infrared spectrometer on Nimbus III, are examined. These radiances are a measure of a weighted mean temperature of approximately the ...

Abstract: A method is described for comparing satellite measurements of reflected solar radiation with pryheliometric measurements at the ground and with measurements from airplanes. When data from accurate, well-calibrated satellite ...

Abstract: The degree of organization and the size of the cloud patterns in TIROS pictures of tropical disturbances are good indicators of the maximum wind speed as observed by airplanes. The organization varies from unorganized ...

Abstract: Normal-incidence solar radiation values were measured during the IGY at the South Pole and Little America (Antarctica), at Mauna Loa (Hawaii), Tucson (Arizona), and Blue Hill Observatory (Massachusetts); some results are ...

Abstract: The pattern of reflection of solar radiation from clouds as a function of angle is obtained by statistical analysis of observations from the TIROS IV visible radiation channel (0.55?0.75 ?). Readings from the water-vapor ...
