RISA Statistical Correlation Method for the Retrieval of Atmospheric Moisture Profiles by Microwave Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical correlation technique is applied to the retrieval of vertical moisture profiles under clear-skyconditions from down-looking radiometric measurements of atmospheric radiation at microwave wavelengths. For a ...
Phenomenological Description of Tropical Clouds Using CloudSat Cloud Classification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo years of tropical oceanic cloud observations are analyzed using the operational CloudSat cloud classification product and Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) lidar. Relationships ...
Estimation of Atmospheric Moisture Content from Microwave Radiometric Measurements during CCOPE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have applied a multiple linear regression technique to retrieve continuous sequences of atmospheric moisture profiles from a set of measured data. In this method the selection of an optimal subset of sensor channels ...
Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure and Spatial–Temporal Evolution of the MJO in AIRS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric moisture and temperature profiles from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit on the NASA Aqua mission, in combination with the precipitation from the Tropical Rainfall ...
An Update on the Oceanic Precipitation Rate and Its Zonal Distribution in Light of Advanced Observations from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study contributes to the estimation of the global mean and zonal distribution of oceanic precipitation rate using complementary information from advanced precipitation measuring sensors and provides an independent ...
On the Quantification of Atmospheric Rivers Precipitation from Space: Composite Assessments and Case Studies over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean and the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric rivers (ARs) are often associated with extreme precipitation, which can lead to flooding or alleviate droughts. A decade (2003?12) of landfalling ARs impacting the North American west coast (between 32.5° and ...
The Apparent Water Vapor Sinks and Heat Sources Associated with the Intraseasonal Oscillation of the Indian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he possibility of using remote sensing retrievals to estimate apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources is explored. The apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources are estimated from a combination of remote sensing, ...
Closing the Global Water Vapor Budget with AIRS Water Vapor, MERRA Reanalysis, TRMM and GPCP Precipitation, and GSSTF Surface Evaporation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigate if atmospheric water vapor from remote sensing retrievals obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AIRS) and the water vapor budget from the NASA Goddard Space ...
Increasing Daily Precipitation Intensity Associated with Warmer Air Temperatures over Northern Eurasia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses 45 years of observational records from 517 historical surface weather stations over northern Eurasia to examine changing precipitation characteristics associated with increasing air temperatures. Results ...
Understanding the Relationships between Lightning, Cloud Microphysics, and Airborne Radar-Derived Storm Structure during Hurricane Karl (2010)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study explores relationships between lightning, cloud microphysics, and tropical cyclone (TC) storm structure in Hurricane Karl (16 September 2010) using data collected by the NASA DC-8 and Global Hawk (GH) aircraft ...
