RISAn Evaluation and Comparison of Vertical Profile Data from the VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistical procedures are used to compare vertical profiles of temperature and moisture derived from VAS with three different algorithms to those of corresponding rawinsonde measurements for a clear-cold environment. To ...
Precipitable Water Estimation from High-Resolution Split Window Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique that uses the spatial variance of image brightness temperature to derive total column Precipitable water is applied to high-resolution multispectral aircraft scanner data for the 19 June 1986 COHMEX day. The ...
A Subsynoptic-Scale Kinetic Energy Analysis of the Red River Valley Tornado Outbreak (AVE-SESAME I)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinetic energy balance during the Red River Valley tornado outbreak (10?11 April 1979) is examined using mesa a-scale rawinsonde data from the first regional-scale day of AVE-SESAME 1979. Computational procedures account ...
A Satellite-Derived Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor Transport Index for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new approach is presented to quantify upper-level moisture transport from geostationary satellite data. Daily time sequences of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES-7 water vapor imagery were used to ...
A Technique for Deriving Column-integrated Water Content Using VAS Split-Window Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm is examined that uses Visible?Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) 11- and 12-µm (split-window) data to derive column-integrated water content (IWC) at mesoscale resolution. The ...
Detection of Storm Damage Tracks with EOS Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The damage surveys conducted by the NWS in the aftermath of a reported tornadic event are used to document the location of the tornado ground damage track (pathlength and width) and an estimation of the tornado intensity. ...
Improving Numerical Weather Predictions of Summertime Precipitation over the Southeastern United States through a High-Resolution Initialization of the Surface State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is hypothesized that high-resolution, accurate representations of surface properties such as soil moisture and sea surface temperature are necessary to improve simulations of summertime pulse-type convective precipitation ...
Retrieval of Model Grid-Scale Heat Capacity Using Geostationary Satellite Products. Part I: First Case-Study Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In weather forecast and general circulation models the behavior of the atmospheric boundary layer, especially the nocturnal boundary layer, can be critically dependent on the magnitude of the effective model grid-scale ...
IIth AMS Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The American Meteorological Society (AMS) held its 11th Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin, during 15?18 October 2001. The purpose of the ...
