Abstract: Satellite observations are the most assimilated data type by operational meteorological centers. Spaceborne instruments can make measurements all over the globe and provide observations for assimilation even where the ...

Abstract: An examination of satellite-derived temperatures reveals that the winter polar stratopause is usually elevated and warmer than the adjacent midlatitude stratopause. This ?separated stratopause? occurs in both hemispheres, ...

Abstract: Scale-dependent radiative dissipation rates. α, for finite-amplitude temperature disturbances have been calculated with a narrowband (5 cm?1) radiative transfer model in the stratosphere (15?60 km). Results are presented ...
