A 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
AIRS: Improving Weather Forecasting and Providing New Data on Greenhouse Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and its two companion microwave sounders, AMSU and HSB were launched into polar orbit onboard the NASA Aqua Satellite in May 2002. NASA required the sounding system to provide ...
