The Time-Varying Calibration of an Airborne Lyman-α Hygrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calibration of an airborne Lyman-α hygrometer against simultaneous measurements of humidity from a dewpoint hygrometer shows that Lyman-α biases drift with time. Analyses of low-level flight data from four days during the ...
A Comparison of Satellite and Emnpirical Formula Techniques for Estimating Insolation over the Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface insulation data collected during the Mixed Layer Dynamiccs Experiment are used to intercompare the satellite technique of Gautier et al. (1980) and five commonly referenced empirical formulas for estimating daily ...
Surface Wind Comparisons with Radar Wind Profiler Observations near Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A special set of radar wind profiler observations during the Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-90) field experiment is used to relate lower-tropospheric winds to surface sustained winds and gusts on the west coast of Okinawa. ...
The West Coast Picket Fence Experiment during STORM-FEST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale weather systems that develop in the central United States are often forced by environmental features that have formed far upstream over the conventional data-sparse Pacific Ocean. Although remotely sensed ...
A Comparison of Radiation Budgets in the Fram Strait Summer Marginal Ice Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of surface radiation fluxes and meteorological conditions collected in the Fram Strait during the summer 1984 Marginal Ice Zone Experiment (MIZEX) are presented and analyzed. These data were combined with ...
CASPER: Coupled Air–Sea Processes and Electromagnetic Ducting Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Coupled Air?Sea Processes and Electromagnetic Ducting Research (CASPER) project aims to better quantify atmospheric effects on the propagation of radar and communication signals in the marine environment. Such ...
