Observations of infrared sea surface temperature and air-sea interaction in Hurricane Edouard (2014) using GPS dropsondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study highlights infrared sensor technology incorporated into the Global Positioning System (GPS) dropsonde platforms to obtain sea surface temperature (SST) measurements. This modified sonde (IRsonde) is used to improve ...
Driftsonde Observations to Evaluate Numerical Weather Prediction of the Late 2006 African Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the international African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) project, stratospheric balloons carrying gondolas called driftsondes capable of dropping meteorological sondes were deployed over West Africa and ...
A Long-Term, High-Quality, High-Vertical-Resolution GPS Dropsonde Dataset for Hurricane and Other Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: GPS dropsonde is a scientific instrument deployed from research and operational aircraft that descends through the atmosphere by a parachute. The dropsonde provides high-quality, high-vertical-resolution profiles of ...
Driftsondes: Providing In Situ Long-Duration Dropsonde Observations over Remote Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tions of driftsonde systems? gondolas floating in the stratosphere and able to release dropsondes upon command? have so far been used in three major field experiments from 2006 through 2010. With them, high-quality, ...
The Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX) was conducted from 15 May to 15 June 2013 in the central United States. MPEX was motivated by the basic question of whether experimental, subsynoptic observations can extend ...
