Meteorological applications of the Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer, 6.7 Micron Channel Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mid-tropospheric circulation features under essentially clear sky conditions have been noted in the data of the 6.7 ?m channel of the Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) while at the same time these ...
Application of Nimbus 4 THIR 6.7 μm Observations to Regional and Global Moisutre and Wind Field Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nimbus 4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) monitors radiation in the 6.5?7.2 ?m water vapor absorption region with a 23-km spatial resolution at the sub-satelite point. Radiation monitored in this spectral ...
The Diurnal Variation of Atlantic Ocean Tropical Cyclone aoud DistributionInferred from Geostationary Satellite Infrared Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-measured equivalent blackbody temperatures of Atlantic Ocean tropical cyclones are used to describe the associated convection and cloud patterns. Average equivalent blackbody temperatures were developed from 538 ...
The Relationship between Satellite Measured Convective Bursts and Tropical Cyclone Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between the mean temperature of the top of the cloud canopies and the future maximum winds of Atlantic Ocean tropical cyclones is analyzed. The area-average cloud top temperatures from 309 observations of ...
Predicting Tropical Cyclone Intensity Using Satellite-Measured Equivalent Blackbody Temperatures of Cloud Tops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A relationship between maximum winds and satellite-measured equivalent blackbody temperatures near tropical cyclones is investigated with data from both the Atlantic and western North Pacific areas. This investigation ...
Tropical Cyclone-Upper Atmospheric Interaction as Inferred from Satellite Total Ozone Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nimbus-7 Total Ozone Mapping spectrometer (TOMS) was used to map the distribution of total Ozone in and around western Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to 1982. It was found that the TOMS-observed total Ozone ...
Satellite Observations of Variations in Tropical Cyclone Convection Caused by Upper-Tropospheric Troughs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mutual adjustment between upper-tropospheric troughs and the structure of western Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Florence (1988) and Irene (1981) are analyzed using satellite and in situ data. Satellite-observed tracers ...
