Abstract: Geostationary infrared sounding missions offer good temporal coverage; however, because of the large distance to the observed earth targets, the effect of diffraction is increased compared to sounding from a low earth orbit ...

Abstract: For a better understanding, of climate, as well as all kinds of solar power applications it is necessary to know about incoming solar radiation at the surface (global radiation) and its partition into disuse and direct ...

Abstract: The grid-scale cloud properties of the Regional-Scale Model (REMO) are compared with the cloud retrievals derived from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) ?DX? datasets for the Baltic Sea Experiment ...

Abstract: In this paper, the amount of satellite-derived longwave cloud radiative forcing (CRF) that is due to an increase in upper-tropospheric water vapor associated with the evolution from clear-sky to the observed all-sky ...

Abstract: he Space Science Engineering Center, in collaboration with the Mauna Kea Weather Center of the University of Hawaii has developed a regional retrieval processor for high spectral resolution infrared data. The core of the ...

Abstract: The Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) is a satellite-based radiometer for measurements of the planetary radiation budget. It was launched in January 1994 on a Russian METEOR-3 platform and provided excellent data from ...
