Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Short-Term Cloud Feedback on Global and Local Interannual Climate Fluctuations from A-Train Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractObservations from multiple sensors on the NASA Aqua satellite are used to estimate the temporal and spatial variability of short-term cloud responses (CR) and cloud feedbacks ? for different cloud types, with respect ...
On the Quantification of Atmospheric Rivers Precipitation from Space: Composite Assessments and Case Studies over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean and the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric rivers (ARs) are often associated with extreme precipitation, which can lead to flooding or alleviate droughts. A decade (2003?12) of landfalling ARs impacting the North American west coast (between 32.5° and ...
Subpixel Characterization of HIRS Spectral Radiances Using Cloud Properties from AVHRR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes a cloud type radiance record derived from NOAA polar-orbiting weather satellites using cloud properties retrieved from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and spectral brightness ...
A Two-Axis Tracking System with Datalogger
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A versatile two-axis tracking system with datalogger is presented. It is designed with regard to high pointing accuracy, high torque and mechanical load, high accuracy of the data acquisition, extended weather resistance, ...
Comparing MODIS and AIRS Infrared-Based Cloud Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omparisons are described for infrared-derived cloud products retrieved from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) using measured spatial response functions ...
