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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Several samples of infrared radiation measurements in the 8?13 micron water-vapor ?window? made by TIROS II are studied in relation to conventionally observed information on pressure systems, cloudiness and temperature ...
