Rocket Observations of the Structure of the Mesosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pressure, density, temperature and wind measurements in the upper stratosphere and in the mesosphere resulted from a total of 53 rocket-grenade soundings conducted during the period 1960?1965. Most of the soundings were ...
Measurements of Microwave Emission from a Foam-Covered, Wind-Driven Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements were made from aircraft of the 1.55-cm microwave emission from the North Sea and North Atlantic at surface wind speeds ranging from less than 5 to 25 m sec?1. Brightness temperatures in the nadir direction ...
Some Observations on the Thermal Behavior of the Mesosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and wind soundings of the stratosphere and mesosphere using the acoustic grenade technique were made over Barrow, Alaska (71N), during the arctic winter night and during the summer. The winter mesosphere ...
PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF RADIATION MEASUREMENTS FROM THE TIROS III METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three simple and typical cases of radiation fluxes measured by the TIROS III meteorological satellite are presented and discussed. These cases deal with emitted earth radiation received in three infrared channels and ...
Micrwave Maps of the Polar Ice of the Earth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synoptic views of the entire polar regions of Earth have been obtained free of the usual persistent cloud cover using a scanning microwave radiometer operating at a wavelength of 1.55 cm on board the Nimbus-5 satellite. ...
