RISCloud Tracking with Satellite Imagery: From the Pioneering Work of Ted Fujita to the Present
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tetsuya (Ted) Fujita was a pioneer in remote sensing of atmospheric motion. When meteorological satellites were introduced, he developed techniques for precise analysis of satellite measurements (sequences of images from ...
Mathematical Aspects in Meteorological Processing of Infrared Spectral Measurements from the GOES Sounder. Part I: Constructing the Measurement Estimate Using Spatial Smoothing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The accuracy of temperature and moisture vertical profiles retrieved from infrared spectral measurements is dependent on accurate definition of all contributions from the observed ?surface?atmosphere? system to the outgoing ...
A Look at the Evolution of Meteorological Satellites: Advancing Capabilities and Meeting User Requirements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, the authors offer their observations from more than 30 years of involvement in the evolution of the space-based meteorological remote sensing systems. Successes and issues from the past are recalled that ...
Atlantic Data Coverage by METEOSAT-3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 1 August 1991, a European geostationary satellite (METEOSAT-3) started operation from a new position at 50°W. This extends westward the European capability to monitor midlatitude storm tracks and assists the National ...
Introducing GOES-I: The First of a New Generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the spring of 1994, the first of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) next generation of geostationary satellites, GOES-I, is scheduled for launch. The introduction of this major component of ...
Eight Years of High Cloud Statistics Using HIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the last 8 yr frequency and location of cloud observations have been compiled using multispectral High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ...
Retrieval of Cloud Parameters from Satellite Sounder Data: A Simulation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimates of cloud-top pressure and effective fractional cloud cover may be retrieved from satellite infrared sounder data. This paper presents the results of a simulation study which provides some insights into the relative ...
