Characterization of the Cloud-Topped Boundary Layer at the Synoptic Scale Using AVHRR Observations during the SEMAPHORE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite platforms NOAA-11 and -12 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data are used during the daytime to study large sheets of stratocumulus over the North Atlantic Ocean. The application concerns an ...
On the Use of X-Band Weather Radar for Wind Field Retrieval in Coastal Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper documents the study of the radar signature of the sea surface on the images collected by an X-band weather radar and its application to remote sensing of the coastal zone. The main radar parameters considered ...
A New Shipborne Microwave Refractometer for Estimating the Evaporation Flux at the Sea Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: After a brief description of humidity measurement and a short presentation of methods of microwave refractometry for evaporation flux, a new X-band refractometer system is presented. Based on a new design and a new material ...
Toward a Better Determination of Turbulent Air–Sea Fluxes from Several Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An accurate determination of turbulent exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere is a prerequisite to identify and assess the mechanisms of interaction that control part of the variability in the two media over a wide ...
