RISUse of Mass Conservation and Critical Dividing Streamline concepts for Efficient Objective Analysis of Winds in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observed winds and temperature profiles can be used to generate three-dimensional, mass-conserving wind fields that reflect topographical influences. The concept of critical dividing streamlines is used to define ...
Comparison of Water Vapor Measurements by Airborne Sun Photometer and Diode Laser Hygrometer on the NASA DC-8
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In January?February 2003, the 14-channel NASA Ames airborne tracking sun photometer (AATS) and the NASA Langley/Ames diode laser hygrometer (DLH) were flown on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. The AATS measured column water vapor ...
Satellite and Correlative Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol. I: An Optical Model for Data Conversions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present a model of stratospheric aerosol optical properties (refractive index and relative size distribution) and their variability. The model's purposes are 1) providing flexible, efficient means for converting between ...
Suborbital Measurements of Spectral Aerosol Optical Depth and Its Variability at Subsatellite Grid Scales in Support of CLAMS 2001
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment, 10 July?2 August 2001, off the central East Coast of the United States, the 14-channel NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer ...
Satellite and Correlative Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol. II: Comparison of Measurements Made by SAM II, Dustsondes and an Airborne Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We show results from the first set of measurements conducted to validate extinction data from the satellite sensor SAM II. Dustsonde-measured number density profiles and lidar-measured backscattering profiles for two days ...
Comparison of Aerosol Single Scattering Albedos Derived by Diverse Techniques in Two North Atlantic Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol single scattering albedo ? (the ratio of scattering to extinction) is important in determining aerosol climatic effects, in explaining relationships between calculated and measured radiative fluxes, and in retrieving ...
