RISEvidence of Atmospheric Contamination on the Measurement of the Spectral Response of the GMS-5 Water Vapor Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The GMS-5 geostationary satellite carries a channel centered at 6.7 ?m for the measurement of upper-tropospheric humidity. This channel?s spectral response shows structures that are similar to those shown by the atmospheric ...
Near-Surface Air Temperature Retrieval Derived from AMSU-A and Sea Surface Temperature Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 10-m air temperature (Ta) retrieval using Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A) and satellite-derived sea surface temperature (Ts) observations is presented. The multivariable linear regression retrieval uses AMSU-A ...
Detection and Correction of Diurnal Sampling Bias in HIRS/2 Brightness Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diurnal sampling biases arise in the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) satellite observations because some of the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites drift significantly from their original local observation ...
A Study of SSM/I-Derived Columnar Water Vapor over the Global Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four years of columnar water vapor (CWV) data from July 1987 through June 1991 derived from a satellite-based physical retrieval method are analysed using microwave observations from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager. ...
Analysis of Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor Brightness Temperatures from SSM/T2, HIRS, and GMS-5 VISSR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite microwave and infrared instruments sensitive to upper-tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) are compared using both simulated and observed cloud-cleared brightness temperatures (Tb?s). To filter out cloudy scenes, a ...
An Improved Near-Surface Specific Humidity and Air Temperature Climatology for the SSM/I Satellite Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: near-surface specific humidity (Qa) and air temperature (Ta) climatology on daily and 0.25° grids was constructed by the objectively analyzed air?sea fluxes (OAFlux) project by objectively merging two recent satellite-derived ...
Global Observations of Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor Derived from TOVS Radiance Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a physically based method for the retrieval of upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) and upper-tropospheric column water vapor (UTCWV) based an the use of radiance data collected by the TIROS Operational ...
Satellite-Based Reconstruction of the Tropical Oceanic Clear-Sky Outgoing Longwave Radiation and Comparison with Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he changes of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) in clear-sky conditions have been calculated using High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) observations from 1979 to 2004. After applying corrections for satellite ...
Trends in Global Cloud Cover in Two Decades of HIRS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The frequency of cloud detection and the frequency with which these clouds are found in the upper troposphere have been extracted from NOAA High Resolution Infrared Radiometer Sounder (HIRS) polar-orbiting satellite data ...
Understanding the Role of Atmospheric Rivers in Heavy Precipitation in the Southeast United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n analysis of atmospheric rivers (ARs) as defined by an automated AR detection tool based on integrated water vapor transport (IVT) and the connection to heavy precipitation in the southeast United States (SEUS) is performed. ...
