RISA Study of Internal Wave Propagation in the Strait of Gibraltar Using Shore-Based Marine Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An X-band marine radar on Windmill Hill, Gibraltar, was used to monitor the propagation of internal waves in the Strait of Gibraltar during March, April, and June 1986. Surface roughness features of the waves were observed ...
Comparison of Precipitation Datasets over the Tropical South American and African Continents
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six rainfall datasets are compared over the Amazon basin, Northeast Brazil, and the Congo basin. These datasets include three gauge-only precipitation products from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC), Global Precipitation ...
A Second-Generation Blackbody System for the Calibration and Verification of Seagoing Infrared Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uasi-operational shipborne radiometers provide a fiducial reference measurement (FRM) for satellite validation of satellite sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) retrievals. External reference blackbodies are required to ...
Coastal Oceanography Applications of Digital Image Data from Marine Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A marine radar attached to a digital image capture system has been adapted for deployment from shore sites. Optimum operating parameters have been identified in relation to the resolution and sampling capabilities of both ...
Quantitative Microwave Backscatter Measurements from the Ocean Surface Using Digital Marine Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The capabilities for quantitative measurements of the ocean backscatter at low grazing angles of a conventional low-budget X-band marine radar associated with a commercial digital capture board are investigated. Details ...
An Infrared Sea Surface Temperature Autonomous Radiometer (ISAR) for Deployment aboard Volunteer Observing Ships (VOS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The infrared SST autonomous radiometer (ISAR) is a self-calibrating instrument capable of measuring in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) to an accuracy of 0.1 K. Extensive field deployments alongside two independent ...
The Calibration and Intercalibration of Sea-Going Infrared Radiometer Systems Using a Low Cost Blackbody Cavity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are many infrared radiometer systems available for the measurement of in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSST). Unfortunately, the marine environment is extremely hostile to optical components, and to ensure the ...
Control of Dry Season Evapotranspiration over the Amazonian Forest as Inferred from Observations at a Southern Amazon Forest Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The extent to which soil water storage can support an average dry season evapotranspiration (ET) is investigated using observations from the Rebio Jarú site for the period of 2000 to 2002. During the dry season, when total ...
The Rainfall Sensitivity of Tropical Net Primary Production in CMIP5 Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors used the relationship between mean annual rainfall (MAR) and net primary production (NPP) (MAR?NPP) observed in tropical forests to evaluate the performance (twentieth century) and predictions ...
