RISAn Evaluation of Alternatives to the Retrieval Methods Used in Processing FGGE Level II TIROS-N Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Alternatives to the retrieval techniques applied by NESDIS operations to derive the FGGF Level IIa soundings are examined. A physical iterative retrieval technique is compared to the operational statistical method, and the ...
A Four-Season Impact Study of Rawinsonde, GOES, and POES Data in the Eta Data Assimilation System. Part I: The Total Contribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of in situ rawinsonde (raob) data, remotely sensed Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), and Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) data routinely used in NCEP?s Eta Data ...
Estimation of Total Atmospheric Ozone from GOES Sounder Radiances with High Temporal Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential for using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Sounder radiance measurements to monitor total atmospheric ozone is examined. A statistical regression using GOES Sounder spectral bands 1?15 ...
An Impact Study of Five Remotely Sensed and Five In Situ Data Types in the Eta Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of 10 data types used in the Eta Data Assimilation/Forecast System (EDAS) is studied for extended-length time periods during three seasons. Five of the data types are remotely sensed satellite data, and the other ...
Experimental GOES Sounder Products for the Assessment of Downburst Potential
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several experimental products derived from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Sounder retrievals (vertical profiles of temperature and moisture) have been developed to assist weather forecasters in ...
A Four-Season Impact Study of Rawinsonde, GOES, and POES Data in the Eta Data Assimilation System. Part II: Contribution of the Components
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of in situ rawinsonde observations (raob), remotely sensed Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), and Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) observations routinely used in ...
An Assessment of GOES-8 Imager Data Quality
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-8 (GOES-8), the first in the GOES I?M series of advanced meteorological satellites was launched in April 1994 and became operational at 75°W longitude the following ...
Validation and Use of GOES Sounder Moisture Information
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounders have provided quality hourly radiances and derived products over the continental United States and adjacent oceans for more than five years. The products ...
A Case Study of the Sensitivity of the Eta Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study is utilized to determine the sensitivity of the Eta Data Assimilation System (EDAS) to all operational observational data types used within it. The work described in this paper should be of interest to Eta ...
