Remote Sensing of Flooding in the U.S. Upper Midwest during the Summer of 1993
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The U.S. upper Midwest was subjected to severe flooding during the summer of 1993. Heavy rainfall in the Mississippi River basin from April through July caused flooding of many Midwest rivers, including the Mississippi, ...
Comparing Ship-Track Droplet Sizes Inferred from Terra and Aqua MODIS Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study of ship tracks, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements from late-morning (Terra) and early-afternoon (Aqua) Earth Observing System platforms are analyzed in five separate geographically ...

MODIS Global Cloud-Top Pressure and Amount Estimation: Algorithm Description and Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua platforms provides unique measurements for deriving global and regional cloud properties. MODIS has spectral ...
Improving National Air Quality Forecasts with Satellite Aerosol Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate air quality forecasts can allow for mitigation of the health risks associated with high levels of air pollution. During September 2003, a team of NASA, NOAA, and EPA researchers demonstrated a prototype tool for ...
Airborne Scanning Spectrometer for Remote Sensing of Cloud, Aerosol, Water Vapor, and Surface Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An airborne scanning spectrometer was developed for measuring reflected solar and emitted thermal radiation in 50 narrowband channels between 0.55 and 14.2 µm. The instrument provides multispectral images of outgoing ...
