The 12–24-Day Mode of Global Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global precipitation estimates derived from satellite data at the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres for 1979?80 were used to explore time variations in global precipitation. Time series of the area-averaged precipitation ...
Intercomparison of Surface Temperatures from AIRS, MERRA, and MERRA-2 with NOAA and GC-Net Weather Stations at Summit, Greenland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe surface skin and air temperatures reported by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AIRS/AMSU-A), the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA), and ...
Global Precipitation at One-Degree Daily Resolution from Multisatellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The One-Degree Daily (1DD) technique is described for producing globally complete daily estimates of precipitation on a 1° ? 1° lat/long grid from currently available observational data. Where possible (40°N?40°S), the ...
Biological and Physical Signs of Climate Change: Focus on Mosquito-borne Diseases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there is ?discernible evidence? that humans?through accelerating changes in multiple forcing factors?have begun to alter the earth's climate regime. Such conclusions ...
The Version-2 Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Monthly Precipitation Analysis (1979–Present)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Version-2 Monthly Precipitation Analysis is described. This globally complete, monthly analysis of surface precipitation at 2.5° latitude ? 2.5° longitude resolution is ...
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 ...
