RISRadiative Fluxes at Barrow, Alaska: A Satellite View
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite estimates of surface shortwave radiation (SWR) at high latitudes agree less with ground observations than at other locations; moreover, ground observations at such latitudes are scarce. The comprehensive observations ...
Remote Sensing of Spectral Aerosol Properties: A Classroom Experience
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bridging the gap between current research and the classroom is a major challenge to today's instructor, especially in the sciences where progress happens quickly. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of ...
An Empirical Orthogonal Function Iteration Approach for Obtaining Homogeneous Radiative Fluxes from Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Conventional observations of climate parameters are sparse in space and/or time, and the representativeness of such information needs to be optimized. Observations from satellites provide improved spatial coverage over ...
Cloud Variability over the Indian Monsoon Region as Observed from Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on documenting the seasonal progression of the Asian monsoon by analyzing clouds and convection in the pre-, peak-, and postmonsoon seasons. This effort was possible as a result of the movement of ...
High-Resolution Daytime Cloud Observations for Northwestern Mexico from GOES-7 Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The first stage in a program of research to develop a regional model capable of describing the hydrology of semiarid areas of northwest Mexico and southwest United States, using remotely sensed data, is described in this ...
Evaluation of Surface Shortwave Flux Estimates from GOES: Sensitivity to Sensor Calibration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameters derived from satellite observations depend on the quality of the calibration method applied to the raw satellite radiance measurements. This study investigates the sensitivity of absolute reflectance, derived ...
Observed Variability of Cloud Frequency and Cloud-Base Height within 3600 m above the Surface over the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he geographic and temporal variability of the surface?3600-m cloud frequency and cloud-base height over the contiguous United States for a 5-yr period (2008?12) and the interannual variations for a 16-yr period (2000?15) ...
Land Surface Temperature Estimation from the Next Generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites: GOES M–Q
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The next generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES M?Q) will have only one thermal window channel instead of the current two split-window thermal channels. There is a need to evaluate the ...
Evaluation of Satellite Estimates of Land Surface Temperature from GOES over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive evaluation of split-window and triple-window algorithms to estimate land surface temperature (LST) from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) that were previously described by Sun and ...
