Statistical Relation between Monthly Mean Precipitable Water and Surface-Level Humidity over Global Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly summaries of atmospheric soundings taken over 17 years from 49 midocean stations at small islands and weather ships distributed over major oceans are examined. Over tropical oceans, precipitable water is found to ...
The Effects of the Variations In Sea Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Stability in the Estimation of Average Wind Speed by SEASAT-SASS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind speeds from the scatterometer (SASS) on the ocean observing satellite SEASAT averaged over 2° latitude by 2° longitude and a 92-day period are compared with wind speeds from ship reports in the western North Atlantic ...
Premonsoon Drought in India Observed from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite observations between 2007 and 2015 are used to characterize the annual occurrence of the premonsoon drought (PMD), which causes human death and economic hardship in India, and to postulate its scientific causes. ...
An Operational Large-Scale Marine Planetary Boundary Layer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An operational planetary boundary layer model (Brown, 1974,1978, 1981) for determining surface winds and stress from free-stream flow has been modified for the marine layer by including surface roughness feedback, variable ...
Determination of Surface Stress by Seasat-SASS: A Case Study with JASIN Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The values of sea surface stress determined with the dissipation method and those determined with a surface-layer model from observations on F.S. Meteor during the Joint Air-Sea Interaction (JASIN) Experiment are compared ...
Determination of Monthly Mean Humidity in the Atmospheric Surface Layer over Oceans from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple statistical technique is described to determine monthly mean marine surface-layer humidity, which is essential in the specification of surface latent heat flux, from total water vapor in the atmospheric column ...
Observational Evidence of Frontal-Scale Atmospheric Responses to Kuroshio Extension Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the regional atmospheric response to the Kuroshio Extension (KE) using a combination of multiple satellite observations and reanalysis data from boreal winter over a period of at least a decade. The ...
An Integrated Approach to Estimate Instantaneous Near-Surface Air Temperature and Sensible Heat Flux Fields during the SEMAPHORE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique was developed to retrieve near-surface instantaneous air temperatures and turbulent sensible heat fluxes using satellite data during the Structure des Echanges Mer?Atmosphere, Proprietes des Heterogeneites ...
