RISTheoretical Aspects of Modeling Backscattering by Cirrus Ice Particles at Millimeter Wavelengths
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This research attempts to understand how nonspherical ice particles backscatter electromagnetic radiation at millimetric wavelengths. The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) is employed to examine backscattering by single ...
Observing Forest Fires with the GOES-8, 3.9-µm Imaging Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Blackbody radiation at 3.9 µm increases rapidly with temperature. This fact suggests a potential application by fire weather meteorologists of the 3.9-µm imagery data provided by the new GOES-8 weather satellite. The ability ...
The NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed Soil Moisture Observing Networks: Design, Instrumentation, and Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed soil moisture observing networks in the watersheds of the Russian River and the North Fork (NF) of the American River in northern California, and the San Pedro ...
Deriving Mixed-Phase Cloud Properties from Doppler Radar Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In certain circumstances, millimeter-wavelength Doppler radar velocity spectra can be used to estimate the microphysical composition of both phases of mixed-phase clouds. This distinction is possible when the cloud properties ...

The Emergence of Weather-Related Test Beds Linking Research and Forecasting Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: have emerged as a critical mechanism linking weather research with forecasting operations. The U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP) was formed in the 1990s to help identify key gaps in research related to major weather ...
