RISA Comparison of the First-Guess Dependence of Precipitable Water Estimates from Three Techniques Using GOES Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper evaluates and intercompares three existing algorithms for calculating precipitable water (PW) using infrared radiances from the GOES-7 VISSR (Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS). ...
The Operational Use of QuikSCAT Ocean Surface Vector Winds at the National Hurricane Center
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The utility and shortcomings of near-real-time ocean surface vector wind retrievals from the NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) in operational forecast and analysis activities at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are ...
Observations of Gulf of Tehuantepec Gap Wind Events from QuikSCAT: An Updated Event Climatology and Operational Model Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of gale- and storm-force gap wind events in the Gulf of Tehuantepec is constructed for the first time using 10 yr of ocean surface vector wind data from the SeaWinds scatterometer on board NASA?s Quick ...
