Abstract: An attempt is made to formulate consistent objective definitions of the concept of ?effective data density? applicable both in the context of satellite soundings more generally in objective data analysis. The definitions ...

Abstract: GOES high-resolution visible imagery is used to define the spatial resolution and scan geometry required for an advanced infrared sounder to fly on future polar-orbiting satellites. The definition is based on optimizing ...

Abstract: Evidence for the radiometric determination of air?water interface temperature gradients is presented. Inherent radiometric characteristics in the water molecule cause variations in the absorption coefficient that allow ...

Abstract: he Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) double-moment 6-class microphysics scheme (WDM6) implements a double-moment bulk microphysical parameterization of clouds and precipitation and is applicable in mesoscale and ...

Abstract: A high spectral resolution interferometer sounder (GHIS) has been designed for flight on future geostationary meteorological satellites. It incorporates the measurement principles of an aircraft prototype instrument, which ...
