RISObservations of the 5–Day Wave in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the Nimbus?6 Pressure Modulator Radiometer (PMR) are presented showing evidence of a westward traveling wave of period 5 to 6 days. The wave is observed throughout the 20 month time span of the dataset. ...
The 4-Day Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Further evidence is presented for a wavenumber 1 eastward traveling 4-day oscillation in the brightness temperatures of the polar winter stratosphere as measured by satellite. A wavenumber 2 eastward travelling 2-day ...
Downwelling Longwave Fluxes at Continental Surfaces-A Comparison of Observations with GCM Simulations and Implications for the Global Land-Surface Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous work suggests that general circulation (global climate) models have excess net radiation at land surfaces, apparently due to overestimates in downwelling shortwave flux and underestimates in upwelling long-wave ...
A Multichannel, Multiangle Method for the Determination of Infrared Optical Depth of Semitransparent High Cloud from an Orbiting Satellite. Part I: Formulation and Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented for determining the infrared optical depth of semitransparent clouds from satellite measurements. The technique employs cloud measurements at two infrared wavelengths and two angles. Using a simple ...
The Impact of the Diurnal Variation of Albedo on the Remote Sensing of the Daily Mean Albedo of Grassland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The correction of a land surface albedo estimate made at one solar zenith angle (SZA) from a polar-orbiting satellite to a standard SZA or to a daily mean albedo requires knowledge of the dependence of the albedo on SZA. ...
The Angular Behavior of Emitted Thermal Infrared Radiation (8–12 μm) at a Semiarid Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiometric measurements of the angular distribution of infrared (8?12 ?m) radiation from a field site in a semiarid sandy soil location are reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the variation of emitted infrared ...
Validation of the ATSR in Australian Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) was launched on the ERS-1 satellite on 17 July 1991. During the following six months, a concentrated effort was made to validate the sea surface temperature (SST) derived from ...
The Surface Radiation Budget over Oceans and Continents
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An updated evaluation of the surface radiation budget in climate models (1994?96 versions; seven datasets available, with and without aerosols) and in two new satellite-based global datasets (with aerosols) is presented. ...
