The Influence of Vertical Air Velocity on the Remote Microwave Measurement of Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atlas and Ulbrich showed a close theoretical relation between gage-measured rain rate and 1 cm microwave absorption; and other remote techniques for potentially accurate rain estimation have been developed. More recently, ...
Filtering, Sampling, and Information Content within Satellite-Derived Multispectral or Mixed-Resolution Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The importance of an ?alias-free imaging? approach to multidimensional ?sounder? instrumentation is highlighted, together with its potential for improving noise-equivalent differential temperature and spatial resolution ...
The Effect of Assimilating Rain Rates Derived from Satellites and Lightning on Forecasts of the 1993 Superstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Inadequate specification of divergence and moisture in the initial conditions of numerical models results in the well-documented ?spinup? problem. Observational studies indicate that latent heat release can be a key ...
Microwave Properties of Frozen Precipitation around a North Atlantic Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microwave brightness temperatures emanating from a North Atlantic cyclone were measured by the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite. As other investigators have ...
