RISCoupling of Horizontal, Vertical, and Temporal Resolving Power of a Satellite Temperature Sounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite sensor optical systems now provide scan spots that are reasonably small and closely spaced compared with the horizontal scales of atmospheric variability that meteorologists might like to infer. Furthermore, ...
The Ill-posed Nature of the Satellite Temperature Retrieval Problem and the Limits of Retrievability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The inverse problem of satellite temperature profile retrieval is well known to be ill-posed. Ibis means that not only is a vertical temperature profile solution not unique, but that two solutions can be very different ...
Dependence of Land Surface Albedo on Solar Zenith Angle: Observations and Model Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the dependence of surface albedo on solar zenith angle (SZA) over snow-free land surfaces using the intensive observations of surface shortwave fluxes made by the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric ...
Intersatellite Radiance Biases for the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS) on board NOAA-15, -16, and -17 from Simultaneous Nadir Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intersatellite radiance comparisons for the 19 infrared channels of the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS) on board NOAA-15, -16, and -17 are performed with simultaneous nadir observations at the orbital ...
Comparison of an Experimental NOAA AVHRR Cloud Dataset with Other Observed and Forecast Cloud Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: CLAVR [cloud from AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)] is a global cloud dataset under development at NOAA/NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service). Total cloud amount from two ...
Evaluation of the Earth Radiation Budget in NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis with ERBE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of the NCEP?NCAR Reanalysis (the reanalysis) by comparing its components of the earth radiation budget to satellite data. Monthly mean clear sky (CS) and total sky of outgoing longwave ...
The Accuracy of Solar Irradiance Calculations Used in Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, solar irradiance forecasts made by mesoscale numerical weather prediction models are compared with observations taken during three air-quality experiments in various parts of the United States. The authors ...
The NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he second version of the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFSv2) was made operational at NCEP in March 2011. This version has upgrades to nearly all aspects of the data assimilation and forecast model components of the system. ...
The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was completed for the 31-yr period from 1979 to 2009, in January 2010. The CFSR was designed and executed as a global, high-resolution coupled atmosphere?ocean?land ...
