Improved Broadband Emissivity Parameterization for Water Vapor Cooling Rate Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reference transmissivities based on line-by-line calculations have been computed for a wide range of homogeneous paths of water vapor. A new approach is employed in which wideband emissivities are directly fitted to the ...
Effect of Cloud Vertical Inhomogeneity on the Retrieval of Cirrus Cloud Temperature and Infrared Optical Depth Using the ASTR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described for the retrieval of cirrus cloud temperature and optical depth using thermal infrared data from the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer. The method utilizes above-cloud and nearby clear-sky thermal ...
A Study of the Radiative Dissipation of Planetary Waves Using Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative dissipation coefficients for the observed, large-scale temperature waves in the middle atmosphere are presented and discussed. These have been calculated using LIMS measurements of the temperature, ozone, and ...
