RIS“Invisible” Cirrus Clouds in NOAA-2 VHRR Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Examples of NOAA-2 VHRR visible and infrared images presented in this paper show the importance and usefulness of these images, particularly in detecting cirrus clouds, when they are used together.
On the Infrared Transmission Through Cirrus Clouds and the Estimation of Relative Humidity from Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On the basis of satellite and other types of information, it is shown, both on observational and theoretical grounds, that cirrus clouds have a higher transmission for radiation at 10 ? than for radiation at 6 ?. Thus, in ...
3‐D Elastic Analysis of Three‐Pile Caps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three‐dimensional elasticity solution of a three‐pile cap is presented. The solution of the governing equations of the theory of elasticity is expressed in terms of the Galerkin vector. The components of the Galerkin ...
Eddies Along a Gulf Stream Boundary Viewed from a Very High Resolution Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pronounced eddies along the western edge of the Gulf Stream were observed by the Very High Resolution Radiometer aboard the NOAA-2 satellite. Similar eddies were seen on one previous occasion. In each case, there was an ...
Satellite Measurements of Reflected Solar Energy and the Energy Received at the Ground
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described for comparing satellite measurements of reflected solar radiation with pryheliometric measurements at the ground and with measurements from airplanes. When data from accurate, well-calibrated satellite ...
Modeling of Surface Roughness and the Role of Debris in Micro-EDM
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface roughness is one of the important quality characteristic of a micromachined component. This paper presents a model to predict surface roughness of micro-EDmachined surfaces. The model is ...
Evolution of Gulf Stream Eddies as Seen in Satellite Infrared Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pronounced eddies along the western edge of the Gulf Stream were again observed by the Very High Resolution Radiometer aboard the NOAA-2 satellite. A rare sequence of infrared images obtained over a period of seven days ...
PRELIMINARY STUDY OF PLANETARY-SCALE OUTGOING LONG-WAVE RADIATION AS DERIVED FROM TIROS II MEASUREMENTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily composite Northern Hemisphere charts of outgoing long-wave radiation were derived from TIROS II measurements for about 25 days in late November and December 1960. Although data coverage was incomplete and variable ...
TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN THE PLANETARY-SCALE OUTGOING LONG-WAVE RADIATION AS DERIVED FROM TIROS II MEASUREMENTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily composite charts of outgoing long-wave radiation between latitudes 55°N. and 55°S. were derived from TIROS II measurements for 26 days between late November 1960 and early January 1961. Samples of these charts reveal ...
