Validation of ECMWF Sea Level Pressure Analyses over the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface pressure measurements from instruments deployed on ice floes in the southern Bellingshausen Sea were used to assess the accuracy of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses in this region ...
Validation of the Surface Energy Balance over the Antarctic Ice Sheets in the U.K. Meteorological Office Unified Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface radiation measurements and other climatological data were used to validate the representation of the surface energy balance over the East Antarctic Ice Sheet in the U.K. Meteorological Office Unified Climate Model. ...
An Assessment of the Differential Inversion Method for Remote Sounding of Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have explored the applicability of the differential inversion (DI) method to temperature retrievals in both clear and cloudy atmospheres using red satellite data. The main theme of the DI is that the local Planck intensity ...
The Determination of Wind Speeds in the Boundary Layer by Monostatic Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical profiles of the horizontal radial wind component in the lowest kilometer of the atmosphere have been measured remotely with lidar. Wind speed determinations were made by observing the motion of naturally occurring ...
A Climatological Study of Internal Gravity Waves in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Overlying the Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal gravity waves are frequently observed in stably stratified regions of the atmospheric boundary layer. In order to determine the statistical influence of such waves on the dynamics of the boundary layer it is ...
Microwave Radiometric Observations Near 19.35, 92 and 183 GHz of Precipitation in Tropical Storm Cora
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of rain cells in the remains of a decaying tropical storm were made by Airborne Microwave Radiometers at 19.35 and 92 GHz and three frequencies near 183 GHz. Extremely low brightness temperatures, as low as ...
Profiling Atmospheric Water Vapor by Microwave Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-altitude microwave radiometric observations at frequencies near 92 and 183.3 GHz were used to study the potential of retrieving atmospheric water vapor profiles over both land and water. An algorithm based on an ...
The South Georgia Wave Experiment: A Means for Improved Analysis of Gravity Waves and Low-Level Wind Impacts Generated from Mountainous Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGravity waves (GWs) play an important role in many atmospheric processes. However, the observation-based understanding of GWs is limited, and representing them in numerical models is difficult. Recent studies show ...
Does Your Lab Use Social Media?: Sharing Three Years of Experience in Science Communication
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEffective science communication is essential to share knowledge and recruit the next generation of researchers. Science communication to the general public can, however, be hampered by limited resources and a lack ...
