RISA Study of the Mesoscale Wind Circulation in a Land-Sea Breeze Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mesoscale wind circulation along the central Oregon coast is investigated by use of surface data gathered during the Coastal Upwelling Experiment 2 (CUE-2). A case with prevailing NNW winds, typical of the general ...
The Impact of Multispectral GOES-8 Wind Information on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasts in 1995. Part II: NOGAPS Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experimental wind datasets were derived for two time periods (13?20 July and 24 August?10 September 1995) from GOES-8 observations processed at the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite ...
Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Oceanic Mixed Layer Observations in Hurricane Josephine Obtained from Air-Deployed Drifting Buoys and Research Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three drifting buoys were successfully air-dropped ahead of Hurricane Josephine. This deployment resulted in detailed simultaneous measurements of surface wind speed, surface pressure and subsurface ocean temperature during ...
Real–Time Internet Distribution of Satellite Products for Tropical Cyclone Reconnaissance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) monitoring requires the use of multiple satellites and sensors to accurately assess TC location and intensity. Visible and infrared (vis/IR) data provide the bulk of TC information, but upper?level ...
Tropical Cyclone Characterization via Nocturnal Low-Light Visible Illumination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ghttime visible digital data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has the potential to compliment the current infrared imagery standard bearer in monitoring global tropical cyclone characteristics.
Estimating Three-Dimensional Cloud Structure via Statistically Blended Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he launch of the NASA CloudSat in April 2006 enabled the first satellite-based global observation of vertically resolved cloud information. However, CloudSat?s nonscanning W-band (94 GHz) Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) provides ...
Estimating Hurricane Wind Structure in the Absence of Aircraft Reconnaissance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New objective methods are introduced that use readily available data to estimate various aspects of the two-dimensional surface wind field structure in hurricanes. The methods correlate a variety of wind field metrics to ...
NexSat: Previewing NPOESS/VIIRS Imagery Capabilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Under the auspices of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System's (NPOESS) Integrated Program Office (IPO), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed ?NexSat? (www.nrlmry.navy.mil/nex ...
