Abstract: A simulation study is used to demonstrate the application of principal component analysis to both the compression of, and meteorological parameter retrieval from, high-resolution infrared spectra. The study discusses the ...

Abstract: Contemporary and future high spectral resolution sounders represent a significant technical advancement for environmental and meteorological prediction and monitoring. Given their large volume of spectral observations, the ...

Abstract: A new microwave algorithm, analogous to the infrared ?radiance-ratioing? method (Eyre and Menzel 1989) is developed to retrieve the height and ?effective? fraction (defined as the product of the emissivity times the actual ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis is performed to evaluate the accuracy and vertical resolution of atmospheric profiles obtained with the HIRS/2, GOES I/M, and HIS instruments. In addition, a linear simultaneous retrieval algorithm ...

Abstract: In this study, the accuracy of a simulated infrared brightness temperature dataset derived from a unique large-scale, high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model simulation is evaluated through a comparison ...

Abstract: A global database of infrared (IR) land surface emissivity is introduced to support more accurate retrievals of atmospheric properties such as temperature and moisture profiles from multispectral satellite radiance ...

Abstract: The International Advanced Television and Infrared Observation Satellite Operational Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) Processing Package (IAPP) has been developed to retrieve the atmospheric temperature profile, moisture profile, ...
