RISFEASIBILITY OF DETERMINING ATMOSPHERIC OZONE FROM OUTGOING INFRARED ENERGY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The high resolution (5 cm?1) measurements of the outgoing infrared energy in the region of the 9.6µ ozone band offer a means of determining the vertical distribution and total amount of ozone in the earth's atmosphere. ...

A Statistical Examination of Nimbus-7 SMMR Data and Remote Sensing of Sea Surface Temperature, Liquid Water Content in the Atmosphere and Surface Wind Speed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) brightness temperature measurements over the global oceans have been examined with the help of statistical and empirical techniques. Such analyses show that ...
Remote Sensing of Precipitable Water over the Oceans from Nimbus 7 Microwave Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) brightness temperature measurements in the 21 and 18 GHz channels are used to sense the precipitable water in the atmosphere over oceans. The difference in the ...
Remote Sensing of Seasonal Distribution of Precipitable Water Vapor over the Oceans and the Inference of Boundary-Layer Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From the depth of the water vapor spectral lines in the 8?9 ?m window region, measured by the Nimbus 4 Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) with a resolution of about 3 cm?1, the precipitable water vapor w over the ...
El Niño and Atmospheric Water Vapor: Observations from Nimbus 7 SMMR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric water vapor over the global oceans is remotely sensed from the Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) measurements for about five years?January 1979 to September 1983. Based on the data for ...
Deep Optically Thin Cirrus Clouds in the Polar Regions. Part I: Infrared Extinction Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral data obtained by the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) flown on Nimbus 4 satellite in 1970 indicated the existence of optically thin ice clouds in the upper troposphere that probably extended into ...
Thin Cirrus Clouds: Seasonal Distribution over Oceans Deduced from Nimbus-4 IRIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spectral differences in the extinction between the 10.8 and 12.6 ?m bands of the infrared window region, due to optically thin clouds, are observed in the measurements made by a broad-band infrared aircraft radiometer. ...
Rainfall over Oceans Inferred from Nimbus 7 SMMR: Application to 1982–83 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) measurements at five frequencies in the region 6.6 to 37 GHz, at a resolution of 155 km, are analyzed to infer precipitation over the global oceans. The microwave ...
Rainfall Estimation over Oceans from SMMR and SSM/I Microwave Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Passive microwave measurements made by the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) reveal information about rain and precipitation-sized ice in the field of view ...
