RISAssessment of Radio Occultation Observations from the COSMIC-2 Mission with a Simplified Observing System Simulation Experiment Configuration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe mainstay of the global radio occultation (RO) system, the COSMIC constellation of six satellites launched in April 2006, is already past the end of its nominal lifetime and the number of soundings is rapidly ...
Experiments on Fluidelastic Instability of Cylinder Clusters in Axial Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a summary of the general behavior of cylinder clusters in axial flow and especially of the fluidelastic instabilities which occur at high flow velocities. Experiments were ...
A Case Study: The Indirect Aerosol Effects of Mineral Dust on Warm Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The indirect aerosol effect (Twomey effect) is studied during a Saharan dust-transport event that presented an unusually favorable combination of a dust-loading gradient across clouds with warm cloud-top temperatures. ...
A Positive Iris Feedback: Insights from Climate Simulations with Temperature-Sensitive Cloud–Rain Conversion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEstimates for equilibrium climate sensitivity from current climate models continue to exhibit a large spread, from 2.1 to 4.7 K per carbon dioxide doubling. Recent studies have found that the treatment of precipitation ...
A New Global Variance Reduction Technique Based on Geometry and Energy Splitting/Roulette
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the increase of computer resources and the application of global variance reduction (GVR) method, it is a trend to obtain global distribution using the Monte Carlo (MC) method in deep-penetration shielding calculation. ...
The MODIS Aerosol Algorithm, Products, and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard both NASA?s Terra and Aqua satellites is making near-global daily observations of the earth in a wide spectral range (0.41?15 ?m). These measurements are ...
