RISLinear Trends and Closures of 10-yr Observations of AIRS Stratospheric Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) level-1b radiances have been shown to be well calibrated (~0.3 K or higher) and have little secular drift (~4 mK yr?1) since operation started in September 2002. This paper investigates ...
Non-Gaussian analysis of observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder compared with ERA and MERRA reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tatistical relationships between higher order moments of probability density functions (PDFs) are used to analyze top of the atmosphere (TOA) radiance measurements made by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), and ...
The stratospheric changes inferred from 10 years of AIRS and AMSU-A radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e analyze global-mean radiances observed by AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) and AMSU-A (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit) from 2003 to 2012. We focus on channels sensitive to emission and absorption in the stratosphere. ...
An Intercomparison of Radiation Codes for Retrieving Upper–Tropospheric Humidity in the 6.3–mm Band: A Report from the First GVaP Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An intercomparison of radiation codes used in retrieving upper?tropospheric humidity (UTH) from observations in the n2 (6.3 mm) water vapor absorption band was performed. This intercomparison is one part of a coordinated ...
AIRS: Improving Weather Forecasting and Providing New Data on Greenhouse Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and its two companion microwave sounders, AMSU and HSB were launched into polar orbit onboard the NASA Aqua Satellite in May 2002. NASA required the sounding system to provide ...
