RISCalibration Assessment of ISCCP Geostationary Infrared Observations Using HIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared window (?11 ?m) brightness temperatures from global geostationary meteorological instruments were calibrated using the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) as an independent analysis of the satellite ...
Evaluating the Potential for Retrieving Aerosol Optical Depth over Land from AVHRR Pathfinder Atmosphere Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In spite of numerous studies on the remote sensing of aerosols from satellites, the magnitude of aerosol climate forcing remains uncertain. However, data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) ...
Quantifying Interagency Differences in Tropical Cyclone Best-Track Wind Speed Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerous agencies around the world perform postseason analysis of tropical cyclone position and intensity, a process described as ?best tracking.? However, this process is temporally and spatially inhomogeneous because ...
Calibration of the Eighth Geostationary Observational Environmental Satellite (GOES-8) Imager Visible Sensor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The GOES-8/Imager has provided scientifically valuable imagery since its launch in April of 1994. However, without an onboard calibration source most research applications involving its data have been limited to qualitative ...
Intercomparison of Independent Calibration Techniques Applied to the Visible Channel of the ISCCP B1 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1 data, which were recently rescued at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s National Climatic Data Center (NOAA/NCDC), are a resource for the ...
Objective Tropical Cyclone Intensity Estimation Using Analogs of Spatial Features in Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n objective method for estimating tropical cyclone (TC) intensity using historical hurricane satellite data (HURSAT) is developed and tested. This new method, referred to as feature analogs in satellite imagery (FASI), ...
Trend Analysis with a New Global Record of Tropical Cyclone Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he historical global ?best track? records of tropical cyclones extend back to the mid-nineteenth century in some regions, but formal analysis of these records is encumbered by temporal heterogeneities in the data. This is ...
The Impact of Best Track Discrepancies on Global Tropical Cyclone Climatologies using IBTrACS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS), the climatology of tropical cyclones is compared between two global best track datasets: 1) the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) subset ...
A Technique for Combining Global Tropical Cyclone Best Track Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Best track data generally consist of the positions and intensities during the life cycle of a tropical cyclone. Despite the widespread interest in the distribution, frequency, and intensity of tropical cyclones worldwide, ...
