Abstract: The difference between observed window radiation and radiation expected without clouds was related to various synoptic parameter. The but correlation, 0.72, was obtained with vertical motion computed by the adiabatic methods ...

Abstract: The origin of a small, tight cloud vortex located over the Caspian Sea as viewed by TIROS VII in late November 1963 was investigated. Charts at the mandatory levels from the surface to 500 mb. at 12-hr. intervals were ...

Abstract: During March 1962, the cloud changes associated with the predevelopment and development-periods of two secondary cyclones in the North Pacific Ocean were viewed on at least two successive days by the 8?12µ ?window? channel ...

Abstract: Cloud top height variability of cloud domes above the cirrostratus anvil was investigated for two severe local storm occurrences over Texas on 12 and 13 May 1972. From a Lear Jet at 14 km, side-looking photographs were ...

Abstract: Three channels of the Nimbus 2 five-channel Medium Resolution Infrared Radiometer (MRIR) have been employed in the development of a technique to determine sea surface temperature. Two of the channelsin the 0.2-4.0 and ...

Abstract: The position of a large area of dust was successfully located over the Sahara Desert and off the west coast of Africa with infrared measurements from the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) and visible information ...

Abstract: The impact of time compositing on infrared profiling from geosynchronous orbit was evaluated for two convective outbreak cases. Time compositing is the accumulation of the data from several successive images taken at short ...

Abstract: The effect of sensor spatial resolution on estimating the amount of clouds covering the earth were investigated by simulating various cloud distributions and sizes, and measuring the known cloud amount with resolution of ...

Abstract: Over 50 cases of TIROS-viewed cloud vortices associated with extratropical cyclones over North America, Europe and Asia between April 1962 and November 1963 were examined to determine what meteorological information could ...

Abstract: Three periods within the life cycle of Hurricane Camille (1969) are examined with radiometric and camera measurements from Nimbus 3 and camera information from ATS 3 in conjunction with conventional information. These ...
