RISUse of Synthetic Aperture Radar in Finescale Surface Analysis of Synoptic-Scale Fronts at Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The viability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as a tool for finescale marine meteorological surface analyses of synoptic-scale fronts is demonstrated. In particular, it is shown that SAR can reveal the presence of, and ...
Use of Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery of the Sea Surface in Detecting the Presence and Structure of the Convective Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two distinct backscatter regimes are seen on a European remote sensing satellite ERS-1 C-band (5.6 cm) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of the sea surface during a time of fair synoptic-scale weather conditions. One ...
“WEATHER IN A TANK”—Exploiting Laboratory Experiments in the Teaching of Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A collaboration between faculty and students at six universities in a project called Weather in a Tank is described, in which ways of teaching atmosphere, ocean, and climate dynamics are explored that bring students into ...
