Abstract: Data from the Nimbus-5 F-Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR-5) have been used to calculate latent heat release (LHR) and other rainfall parameters for over 70 satelite observations of 21 tropical cyclones ...

Abstract: Observations of the mean cloud top temperature and height of the eye wall of two tropical cyclones, using GOES infrared and stereoscopic measurements, presented an opportunity to estimate the storm's eye wall tropopause ...

Abstract: The Electrically Scanned Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) on the Nimbus 5 satellite measures the microwave radiation emitted by the earth and the atmosphere in a wavelength band centered at 1.55 cm. The ESMR scans perpendicularly ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for calculating microwave radiative transfer in raining atmospheres is developed. These calculations are compared with microwave brightness temperatures at a wavelength of 1.55 cm measured by the ...

Abstract: Observations of rain cells in the remains of a decaying tropical storm were made by Airborne Microwave Radiometers at 19.35 and 92 GHz and three frequencies near 183 GHz. Extremely low brightness temperatures, as low as ...
