RISAssimilation of Clear- and Cloudy-Sky Upper-Tropospheric Humidity Estimates Using GOES-8 and GOES-9 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A strong linearity exists between the 6.7-?m clear-sky outgoing brightness temperature (BT) and dewpoint depression (DPD) at upper-tropospheric levels. A similar relationship, using the logarithm of relative humidity instead ...
On Differences in Radiosonde Humidity-Reporting Practices and Their Implications for Numerical Weather Prediction and Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosonde humidity distributions over the United States, Canada, and Europe are discussed. Striking dry-end and wet-end differences are caused by the lack of international standards in the transformation of relative ...
The Canadian Global Data Assimilation System: Description and Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global data assimilation system has been in operation at the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) since March 1991 when it replaced the previous hemispheric system. This paper describes the system and presents an evaluation ...
