Abstract: A computationally fast line-by-line method for the determination of atmospheric absorption is described. This method is based on the creation of an Automatized Atmospheric Absorption Atlas (4A) covering all possible plausible ...

Abstract: Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS; NASA Aqua platform) observations over land are interpreted in terms of monthly mean surface emissivity spectra at a resolution of 0.05 ?m and skin temperature. For each AIRS observation, ...

Abstract: Eight shear wall specimens sheathed with 11 mm structural oriented strand board panels were assembled with overdriven sheathing nails and tested using a pseudo-dynamic procedure. Specimens used 38×89 mm Douglas Fir-Larch ...

Abstract: An experimental simulation of a single-channel, double-angle viewing technique for the determination of sea surface temperature from satellite is presented. This method relies upon the fact that the same area can be viewed ...

Abstract: A 4½-yr monthly stratospheric temperature record derived from TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder satellite observations has been used to study the global variability of the stratosphere in the Tropics. A comparison with ...

Abstract: Synthetic computations of atmospheric transmissions and radiant energies are presented in order to simulate remote soundings of the sea surface temperature in two pairs of channels: ?8.7 and 11.6 ?m, on the one hand, and ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the calibration of infrared radiometers on geostationary satellites using calibrated infrared radiometers on an orbiting satellite. This method relies on similarities between the weighting functions ...

Abstract: n absorbing load in a liquid nitrogen bath is commonly used as a radiance standard for calibrating radiometers operating at microwave to infrared wavelengths. It is generally assumed that the physical temperature of the ...

Abstract: In this paper, quantitative studies of water vapor Meteosat imagery, based on an accurate transmittance and radiance model are described. Using conventional radiosonde data, a linear relation between cloudless radiances ...

Abstract: First comparisons of improved initialization inversion (3I) cloud parameters determined from TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder observations with time?space-collocated clouds from the recently reprocessed International ...
