RISMonthly Mean Cloudiness Observed from METEOSAT-2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For this study, a sampled dataset from the original METEOSAT images was taken over a seven-month period for areas with a variety of different surface types and geographical locations. This was the initial BI dataset requested ...
Use and Impact of Satellite Atmospheric Motion Winds on ECMWF Analyses and Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent developments in the extraction technique of wind vectors from geostationary satellite images have led to a significant increase in the data coverage of this product. This is mainly due to the use of visible and water ...
Near-Surface Satellite Wind Observations of Hurricanes and Their Impact on ECMWF Model Analyses and Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During August?September 1995 new near-surface wind datasets over the tropical Atlantic from both the ERS-1 scatterometer and Meteosat satellites were available at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. At ...
The Validation of ATSR Using Aircraft Radiometer Data over the Tropical Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The First ATSR Tropical Experiment was carded out in November 1991 over the tropical Atlantic to validate daytime measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) made by the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) on the ...
The Gastropod Fast Radiative Transfer Model for Advanced Infrared Sounders and Characterization of Its Errors for Radiance Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Principal aspects of the development of Gastropod, a fixed-pressure-grid fast radiative transfer model for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), are described. Performance of the forward and gradient operators is ...
Satellite Observations of Sea Surface Temperature Around the British Isles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: TIROS-N Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery has been used to study the temperature structure of the sea surface around the British Isles. We have combined the satellite imagery from both TIROS-N. ...
An Intercomparison Between Radiation Budget Estimates from METEOSAT 1, Nimbus 7 and TIROS-N Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily averaged and instantaneous values or the Earth's radiation budget have been computed from the satellite measurements of reflected solar and emitted terrestrial radiation with MEUGSAT 1, Nimbus 7 ERB and TIROS-N ...
A Comparison of Measured and Modeled Broadband Fluxes from Aircraft Data during the ICE '89 Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1989 intensive field campaign of the International Cirrus Experiment (ICE) over the North Sea, broadband radiative fluxes were measured in, above, and below cirrus cloud by a number of European meteorological ...
Validation of the AATSR Meteo Product Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Meteo product, a fast-delivery level-2 product at 10 arc min spatial resolution, has been available from the European Space Agency (ESA) ...
The ESA Climate Change Initiative: Satellite Data Records for Essential Climate Variables
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ons of Earth from space have been made for over 40 years and have contributed to advances in many aspects of climate science. However, attempts to exploit this wealth of data are often hampered by a lack of homogeneity and ...
