RISGround- and Space-Based Temperature and Humidity Retrievals: Statistical Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A near-real-time integrated temperature and water vapor sounding system has been designed and in operation since June 1993. It combines hourly data from the ground-based radio acoustic sounding system (RASS), a two-channel ...
Multisensor Retrieval of Atmospheric Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new method, Multisensor Retrieval of Atmospheric Properties (MRAP), is presented for deriving vertical profiles of atmospheric parameters throughout the troposphere. MRAP integrates measurements from multiple, diverse, ...
Length Scales in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We calculated integral scales for horizontal and vertical velocity components, temperature, humidity and ozone concentration, as well as for their variances and covariances from aircraft measurements in the convective ...
Measurement of Humidity Profiles in the Atmosphere by the Global Positioning System and Radar Wind Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bragg backscatter of radar waves from elevated turbulent layers is very highly correlated with the height profile of the gradient of radio refractive index through elevated turbulent layers, as has often been documented ...
Determination of Liquid Water Altitudes Using Combined Remote Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Methods by which attitude ranges of supercooled cloud liquid water in the atmosphere may be estimated are explored using measurements from a combination of ground-based remote sensors. The tests were conducted as part of ...
A Numerical Method for Synthesizing Atmospheric Temperature and Humidity Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical technique is described for synthesizing realistic atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles. The method uses an ensemble of radiosonde measurements collected at a site of interest. Erroneous profiles are ...
The Pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar: Observations of Frontal Structure and the Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NOAA/WPL pulsed coherent Doppler lidar was used during the Texas Frontal Experiment in 1985 to study mesoscale preconvective atmospheric conditions. On 22 April 1985, the Doppler lidar, in conjunction with serial ...
Radiosonde Humidity Soundings and Microwave Radiometers during Nauru99
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During June?July 1999, the NOAA R/V Ron H. Brown (RHB) sailed from Australia to the Republic of Nauru where the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program operates a long-term climate observing ...
Humidity Gradient Profiles from Wind Profiling Radars Using the NOAA/ETL Advanced Signal Processing System (SPS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm to compute the magnitude of humidity gradient profiles from the measurements of the zeroth, first, and second moments of wind profiling radar (WPR) Doppler spectra was developed and tested. The algorithm extends ...
Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field studies in support of the Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP) were conducted in the Colorado Front Range area from 1 February to 31 March 1990(WISP90) and from 15 January to 5 April 1991 (WISP91). The main goals ...
