Factors Controlling Upper-Troposphere Water Vapor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal changes of the upper-tropospheric humidity are studied with the water vapor data from the Microwave Limb Sounder on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration?s Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, and ...
A Distribution Law for Free-Tropospheric Relative Humidity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The probability distribution of local relative humidity R in the free troposphere is explored by comparing a simple theoretical calculation with observations from the global positioning system (GPS) and the Microwave Limb ...
MLS and CALIOP Cloud Ice Measurements in the Upper Troposphere: A Constraint from Microwave on Cloud Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the consistency and microphysics assumptions among satellite ice water content (IWC) retrievals in the upper troposphere with collocated A-Train radiances from Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and lidar ...
Global Ozone Observations from the UARS MLS: An Overview of Zonal-Mean Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global ozone observations from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) are presented, in both vertically resolved and column abundance formats. The authors review the zonal-mean ...
Observed Increase of TTL Temperature and Water Vapor in Polluted Clouds over Asia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite observations are analyzed to examine the correlations between aerosols and the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) temperature and water vapor. This study focuses on two regions, both of which are important pathways ...
Evaluating the Diurnal Cycle of Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds in Climate Models Using SMILES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper-tropospheric ice cloud measurements from the Superconducting Submillimeter Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) on the International Space Station (ISS) are used to study the diurnal cycle of upper-tropospheric ice cloud ...
