A Simulation and Diagnostic Study of Water Vapor Image Dry Bands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Limited Area Mesoscale Prediction System (LAMPS) model simulation and special 3-hour radiosonde dataset are used to investigate warm (dry) bands in 6,7 ?m water vapor satellite imagery on 6?7 March 1982. The purpose is ...
An Alternative Representation of the Ice Canopy for Calculating Microwave Brightness Temperatures over a Thunderstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Passive microwave brightness temperatures (TB's) at 92 and 183 GHz from an aircraft thunderstorm overflight are compared with values calculated from radar-derived hydrometer profiles and a modified proximity sounding. Two ...
Simulations of the Effects of Water Vapor, Cloud Liquid Water, and Ice on AMSU Moisture Channel Brightness Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative transfer simulations are performed to determine how water vapor and nonprecipitating cloud liquid water and ice particles within typical midlatitude atmospheres affect brightness temperatures TB's of moisture ...
An Unusual Aerial Photograph of an Eddy Circulation in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n aerial photograph of a cyclonic, von Kármán?like vortex in the marine stratocumulus clouds off the California coast, taken by a commercial pilot near Grover Beach, is presented. It is believed that this is the first ...
