RISInfrared Radiative Properties Of the Maritime Antarctic Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The longwave radiation environment of the Antarctic Peninsula and Southern Ocean has been investigated using radiometric Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements of atmospheric emission in conjunction with detailed ...
Evaluation of an AVHRR Cloud Detection and Classification Method over the Central Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud classification method that uses both multispectral and textural features with a maximum likelihood discriminator is applied to full-resolution AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) data from 100 NOAA ...
The Use of Cloud Reflectance Functions with Satellite Data for Surface Radiation Budget Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of an overcast atmosphere above an ocean surface has been calculated as a function of wavelength using a discrete-ordinates radiative transfer model. This ...
The Ultraviolet Radiation Environment of the Antarctic Peninsula: The Roles of Ozone and Cloud Cover
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Science Foundation scanning spectroradiometer at Palmer Station, Antarctica (64°46?S, 64°04?W) provides hourly ground-based measurements of solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiance at the, earth's surface. These ...
Cloud Radiative Properties over the South Pole from AVHRR Infrared Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the Antarctic plateau, the radiances measured by the AVHRR middle infrared (11 and 12 ?m) channels are shown to depend on effective cloud temperature, emissivity, ice water path, and effective radius of the particle ...
Remote Sensing of Surface and Cloud Properties in the Arctic from AVHRR Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Algorithms to retrieve cloud optical depth and effective radius in the Arctic using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data are developed, using a comprehensive radiative transfer model in which the atmosphere ...
Remote Sensing of Polar Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Polar researchers have historically been innovative and adaptive users of satellite remote sensing data, and their experiences can suggest ways to enhance the use of remote sensing throughout the climate sciences. We ...
Surface Albedo over the Arctic Ocean Derived from AVHRR and Its Validation with SHEBA Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented for retrieving the broadband albedo over the Arctic Ocean using advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data obtained from NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. Visible and near-infrared albedos ...
Monte Carlo Study of UAV-Measurable Albedo over Arctic Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn anticipation that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will have a useful role in atmospheric energy budget studies over sea ice, a Monte Carlo model is used to investigate three-dimensional radiative transfer over ...
West Antarctic Ice Sheet Cloud Cover and Surface Radiation Budget from NASA A-Train Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractClouds are an essential parameter of the surface energy budget influencing the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) response to atmospheric warming and net contribution to global sea level rise. A 4-yr record of NASA ...
