Comparison of Radiosonde and Acoustic Echo Sounder Measurements of Atmospheric Thermal Strata
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermal structure of the atmosphere is observed through simultaneous use of the acoustic echo sounder and standard radiosonde. Radiosonde temperature data and graphic recordings from the acoustic sounder are compared ...
Modeling Wind Speed Dependence of Marine Aerosol Distribution by a Gamma Function
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marine aerosol size distributions are fit to a gamma function using the technique of maximum likelihood. Aerosol measurements are separated into marine and continental components. The marine component is fit to the gamma ...
Observations of Strong Surface Radar Ducts over the Persian Gulf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ducting of microwave radiation is a common phenomenon over the oceans. The height and strength of the duct are controlling factors for radar propagation and must be determined accurately to assess propagation ranges. A ...
Atmospheric Aerosol Optical Properties in the Persian Gulf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol optical depth measurements over Bahrain acquired through the ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) are analyzed. Optical depths obtained from ground-based sun/sky radiometers showed a pronounced temporal ...
