Abstract: Three channels of the Nimbus 2 five-channel Medium Resolution Infrared Radiometer (MRIR) have been employed in the development of a technique to determine sea surface temperature. Two of the channelsin the 0.2-4.0 and ...

Abstract: The effect of sensor spatial resolution on estimating the amount of clouds covering the earth were investigated by simulating various cloud distributions and sizes, and measuring the known cloud amount with resolution of ...

Abstract: Stepwise linear regressions for the specification of blackbody surface radiances are computed using a set of 103 model atmospheres chosen originally by Wark et al. and the corresponding simulated values of Nimbus 2 ...

Abstract: The Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) monitors radiation in the 6.5?7.2 ?m water vapor absorption region with a 23-km spatial resolution at the sub-satelite point. Radiation monitored in this spectral ...

Abstract: An objective statistical procedure has been developed using satellite infrared window radiation measurements to estimate the central pressure (Pc), the deviation of the central pressure from the climatological normal (?P), ...

Abstract: The stereographic horizon map projection is a generalized form of the polar stereographic projection that permits placement of the map center at any point on the earth. With this projection, it is possible to view translating ...
