Abstract: oderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data continue to provide a wealth of two-dimensional, cloud-top information and derived environmental products. In addition, the A-Train constellation of satellites ...

Abstract: he first observationally based conceptual model for intense pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) development is described by applying reanalyzed meteorological model output to an inventory of 26 intense pyroCb events from June-August ...

Abstract: he Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) nighttime visible channel was designed to detect earth?atmosphere features under conditions of low illumination (e.g., near the solar ...

Abstract: ntense wildfires occasionally generate fire-triggered storms, known as pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb), that can inject smoke particles and trace gases into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). This study develops ...

Abstract: ghttime visible digital data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has the potential to compliment the current infrared imagery standard bearer in monitoring global tropical cyclone characteristics.

Abstract: ew multi-lead-time versions of three statistical probabilistic tropical cyclone rapid intensification (RI) prediction models are developed for the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific basins. These are the linear-discriminant ...
