VIIRS Captures Aurora Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: en found that the day/night band of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite is capable of observing rapid motions of the aurora. The images that led to this discovery are shown. Shifts in the apparent position of the ...
Cloud-Base Height Estimation from VIIRS. Part I: Operational Algorithm Validation against CloudSat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he operational VIIRS cloud-base height (CBH) product from the Suomi?National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite is compared against observations of CBH from the cloud profiling radar (CPR) on board CloudSat. Because ...
In Situ Aircraft Measurements of the Vertical Distribution of Liquid and Ice Water Content in Midlatitude Mixed-Phase Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he vertical distribution of liquid and ice water content and their partitioning is studied using 34 cases of in situ measured microphysical properties in midlatitude mixed-phase clouds, with liquid water path ranging from ...

The Dark Side of Hurricane Matthew: Unique Perspectives from the VIIRS Day/Night Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHurricane Matthew (28 September?9 October 2016) was perhaps the most infamous storm of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, claiming over 600 lives and causing over $15 billion (U.S. dollars) in damages across the ...
A Sight for Sore Eyes: The Return of True Color to Geostationary Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 1967, at the dawn of the satellite era, the Applications Technology Satellite 3 (ATS-3) provided the first full-disk ?true color? images of Earth. With its depiction of blue oceans, golden deserts, and green forestlands ...
Cloud-Base Height Estimation from VIIRS. Part II: A Statistical Algorithm Based on A-Train Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nowledge of cloud-base height (CBH) is important to describe cloud radiative feedbacks in numerical models and is of practical relevance to the aviation community. Whereas satellite remote sensing with passive radiometers ...
