Temperature and Water Vapor Variance Scaling in Global Models: Comparisons to Satellite and Aircraft Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of the scale dependence of height-resolved temperature T and water vapor q variability are valuable for improved subgrid-scale climate model parameterizations and model evaluation. Variance spectral benchmarks ...
Challenges to Satellite Sensors of Ocean Winds: Addressing Precipitation Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easurements of global ocean surface winds made by orbiting satellite radars have provided valuable information to the oceanographic and meteorological communities since the launch of the Seasat in 1978, by the National ...
Revealing the Winds under the Rain. Part I: Passive Microwave Rain Retrievals Using a New Observation-Based Parameterization of Subsatellite Rain Variability and Intensity—Algorithm Description
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: catterometer ocean surface winds have been providing very valuable information to researchers and operational weather forecasters for over 10 years. However, the scatterometer wind retrievals are compromised when rain is ...
