A Procedure for the Correction of Biases in Winds Measured from Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for determining bias errors in winds derived from airborne Doppler radar and inertial navigation wind-finding systems is presented and tested on samples of field quality data from the GARP Atlantic Tropical ...
Calibration of an Airborne Lyman-Alpha Hygrometer and Measurement of Water Vapor Flux Using a Thermoelectric Hygrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An improved calibration technique for an airborne Lyman-alpha hygrometer is presented. Like previous methods, it relies upon simultaneous measurement of absolute humidity determined from a slower response hygrometer. We ...
Estimating Watershed Evapotranspiration with PASS. Part II: Moisture Budgets during Drydown Periods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second part of the parameterization of subgrid-scale surface fluxes model (PASS2) has been developed to estimate long-term evapotranspiration rates over extended areas at a high spatial resolution by using satellite ...
An Analysis of Airborne Measurements of Vertical Water Vapor Flux During BOMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initial analysis of the water vapor flux measurements taken onboard a NOAA DC-6 during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) is presented. The flux of water vapor seems to be constant in the ...
