Abstract: The utility of the midafternoon satellite derived surface temperatures for detecting drought events is examined using the NOAA-9 AVHRR data over the U.S. Great Plains during 1986?88. The interannual differences in monthly ...

Abstract: This paper reviews satellite datasets from the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer that could be employed in support of numerical climate modeling at regional and global scales. Presently available NOAA operational ...

Abstract: Recently, a statistical procedure was proposed to analyze the angular effect in the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) brightness temperatures. The estimated empirical angular functions (EAF) over the ...
