Abstract: In this paper, the algorithm used for calculating the water vapor distribution from SIRS-B spectral radiances is given. Examples are presented illustrating the effects of errors in the water vapor absorption coefficients ...

Abstract: Cloud altitudes specified from the Infrared Temperature Profile Radiometer on the Nimbus 5 satellite are compared with simultaneous observations by radiosonde and ground-based ranging measurements conducted with the lidar ...

Abstract: A new technique is formulated for using eigenvectors of covariance matrices to retrieve atmospheric parameters from spectral radiance observations. The eigenvector method permits the use of all spectral radiances in a ...

Abstract: A CO2 cloud tracking technique to determine simultaneous heights and velocities of cloud motion winds is presented. Using animated CO2 channel imagery from VAS, multi-level cloud situations are separated into high, middle ...

Abstract: A composite histogram method is used to objectively derive sea-surface temperature distribution from satellite radiation measurements for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Comparisons with conventional observations ...

Abstract: A least squares regression method is formulated for obtaining global temperature and geopotential height profiles from satellite radiation measurements, particularly those obtained by the Sate1lite Infra-Red Spectrometer ...
