Abstract: Assimilating satellite radiance data under all weather conditions remains an outstanding problem in numerical weather prediction. This study develops an observational operator for use in radiance assimilation under both ...

Abstract: A cloud-resolving model was used in conjunction with a radiative transfer (RT) modeling system to study 10.7-?m brightness temperatures computed for a simulated thunderstorm. A two-moment microphysical scheme was used that ...

Abstract: In this study, the ability of different combinations of bulk cloud microphysics and planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization schemes implemented in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model to realistically simulate ...

Abstract: An accurate and rapid means is presented for computing the atmospheric absorption for the infrared channel (10.2?12.7 ?m) on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program operational linescan system (OLS) for use in remote ...

Abstract: This study reviews the capability of the advanced imagers on Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) I?M to provide quantitative information about bulk microphysical properties of low?level stratiform ...

Abstract: This study, the first part of a two-part series, develops the method of ?successive orders of interaction? (SOI) for a computationally efficient and accurate solution for radiative transfer in the microwave spectral region. ...

Abstract: The characteristics of shapes and sizes of a sample of 679 hailstones, collected on 22 June 1976 during a hailstorm at Grover, Colorado, were analyzed using a three-parameter formula developed by us previously. These ...

Abstract: ynthetic infrared brightness temperatures (BTs) derived from a high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulation over the contiguous United States are compared with Moderate Resolution Imaging ...

Abstract: Fast and accurate radiative transfer (RT) models are crucial in making use of microwave satellite data feasible under all weather conditions in numerical weather prediction (NWP) data assimilation. A multistream ?successive ...
