RISSpatial and Temporal Variations in Mesoscale Water Vapor Retrieved from TOVS Infrared Radiances in a Nocturnal Inversion Situation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale moisture fields are retrieved from TOVS (TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) infrared radiances from two polar-orbiting satellites. A special feature of the retrieval process is the determination of the surface ...
GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager Color Product Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series was inaugurated in 1994 with the launch of GOES-8 and will continue with two more satellites (GOES-O and -P) after the most recent GOES-13 launched ...
Objective Analysis of Discontinuous Satellite-Derived Data Fields for Grid Point Interpolation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In retrieval of atmospheric temperature and moisture soundings from satellite infrared radiance measurements the raw data commonly used consist of dense fields of radiances interrupted by data-free gaps. This note reports ...
Guidelines for the Use of SI units in Technical Writing and Presentations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Beginning in 1975, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) adopted a strong International System of Units (SI) policy for its publications. AMS policy on SI units is explained in the Authors' Guide, published in 1983. ...
Detection of Important Atmospheric and Surface Features by Employing Principal Component Image Transformation of GOES Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The detection of dust, fire hot spots, and smoke from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) is made easier by employing the principal component image (PCI) technique. PCIs are created by an eigenvector ...
Retrieval and Use of High-Resolution Moisture and Stability Fields from Nimbus 6 HIRS Radiances in Pre-Convective Situations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is a study of environmental conditions prior to convective development on the Great Plains of the United States on four case study days in August 1975. The tool used was the High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder ...
Deriving Mesoscale Temperature and Moisture Fields from Satellite Radiance Measurements over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability to provide mesoscale temperature and moisture fields from operational satellite infrared sounding radiances over the United States is explored. High-resolution sounding information for mesoscale analysis and ...
An Analysis of Satellite Infrared Soundings at the Mesoscale Using Statistical Structure and Correlation Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical analysis of satellite infrared sounding data from the Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR) on NOAA 4 was performed in conjunction with the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) mesoscale sounding ...
Estimating Noise Levels of Remotely Sensed Measurements from Satellites Using Spatial Structure Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is presented whereby the noise level of satellite measurements of the atmosphere and earth can be estimated. The technique analyzes a spatial array of data measured by a satellite instrument. A minimum of about ...
