Abstract: Remote sensing of the atmosphere from satellite to improve numerical weather prediction demands objective data handling methods, as the effectiveness of satellite data ultimately rests on our ability to process the data ...

Abstract: The statistical analysis of cold air temperatures (cold spells) and hot air temperatures (hot spells) is discussed. Air temperature time series observed at 50 stations in southern Italy am investigated. The deterministic ...

Abstract: Stochastic?dynamic models are discussed for both air temperature and solar irradiance daily time series in the Italian climate. Most of the methodologies discussed in this paper are well known and established for processes ...

Abstract: We examine the existing measurements of global solar radiation and sunshine duration for Italy, and evaluate the errors made in estimating global solar radiation from sunshine hours measurements. We find that the Ångstrom?Black ...

Abstract: The international experiment called the European Aqua Thermodynamic Experiment (EAQUATE) was held in September 2004 in Italy and the United Kingdom to validate Aqua satellite Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) radiance ...

Abstract: The Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring mission will observe the Earth’s emitted outgoing radiation spectrum across the far-infrared with high spectral resolution and accuracy from space for the ...
