Measurements of Stratospheric Water Vapor Using Far-Infrared Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A description is given of a program of observations, carried out over a three-year period, of the sub-millimeter (far-infrared) emission spectrum of the stratosphere. From the discrete emission lines which occur in this ...
Observations of the Infrared Outgoing Spectrum of the Earth from Space: The Effects of Temporal and Spatial Sampling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A recent comparison between data taken by two different satellite instruments, the Interferometric Monitor of Greenhouse Gases (IMG) that flew in 1997 and the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) that flew in 1970, ...
Comparison of Spectrally Resolved Outgoing Longwave Radiation over the Tropical Pacific between 1970 and 2003 Using IRIS, IMG, and AIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observation of changes in the earth?s spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) provides a direct method of determining changes in the radiative forcing of the climate system. An earlier study showed that ...
Cloud Radiative Forcing in Pacific, African, and Atlantic Tropical Convective Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The high degree of cancellation between longwave (LW) and shortwave (SW) cloud radiative forcing (CRF) observed in the Pacific warm pool region has generally been assumed to be a property of all convective regions in the ...
Climate Variability and Trends in SSU Radiances: A Comparison of Model Predictions and Satellite Observations in the Middle Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several recent studies have highlighted the potential of utilizing statistical techniques to pattern match observations and model simulations in order to establish a causal relationship between anthropogenic activity and ...
Spatial Patterns of Climate Variability in Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor Radiances from Satellite Data and Climate Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of multivariate fingerprints and spatial pattern correlation in the detection and attribution of climate change has concentrated on radiosonde temperature fields. However, the large body of radiance data from ...
Synoptic Interpretation of Measurements from HALOE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The degree to which the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex is isolated against horizontal (isentropic) mixing is investigated using data from the Halogen Occulation Experiment (HALOE), U.K. Meteorological Office (UKMO) ...
On the Detection of Robust Multidecadal Changes in Earth’s Outgoing Longwave Radiation Spectrum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ifferences between Earth?s global mean all-sky outgoing longwave radiation spectrum as observed in 1970 [Interferometric Infrared Spectrometer (IRIS)], 1997 [Interferometric Monitor for Greenhouse Gases (IMG)], and 2012 ...
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on a new satellite sensor, the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) experiment. GERB is designed to make the first measurements of the Earth's radiation budget from geostationary orbit. Measurements ...
