Abstract: Evaluations of limb-corrected brightness temperatures computed by NESDIS from TIROS-N MSU observed brightness temperatures are presented. Observed brightness temperatures both before and after limb correction are compared ...

Abstract: Available potential energy and kinetic energy distributions for the Northern Hemisphere computed from the FGGE Level IIIa analyses produced at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) and the Level IIIb analyses prepared ...

Abstract: ducation research has shown that there is often a disconnect between what instructors teach and what students actually comprehend. Much of this disconnect stems from students? previous conceptions of the subject that often ...

Abstract: Available potential energy (APE) calculations are used to evaluate the influence of the FGGE satellite observing system during the first Special Observing Period (SOP-1). Two datasets consisting of the Goddard Laboratory ...

Abstract: Alternatives to the retrieval techniques applied by NESDIS operations to derive the FGGF Level IIa soundings are examined. A physical iterative retrieval technique is compared to the operational statistical method, and the ...

Abstract: Evaluations of operational TIROS-N and NOAA-6 temperature soundings over North America are presented for an early January 1980 period one month after completion of the First GARP Global Experiment. In addition to collocated ...
