RISDetermination of Semi-Transparent Cirrus Cloud Temperature from Infrared Radiances: Application to METEOSAT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of simultaneous infrared measurements to derive the temperature and emissivity of semi-transparent cirrus clouds is experimentally investigated. Results from the NASA/CONVAIR-990 Winter Experiment Program, 1977 ...
Automatic Classification of Clouds on METEOSAT Imagery: Application to High-Level Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical classification method based on clustering on three-dimensional histograms is applied to the three channels of the METEOSAT imagery [Visible (VIS)?Infrared Window (IR)?Infrared Water Vapor (WV)]. The results ...
Surface Albedo over the Sahel from METEOSAT Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to estimate surface albedo in the African Sahel is proposed and discussed. This method, which uses METEOSAT imagery and routine surface global radiation measurement is shown to be relevant for climatological ...
Upper-Level Structure of Oklahoma Tornadic Storms on 2 May 1979. II: Proposed Explanation of “V” Pattern and Internal Warm Region in Infrared Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of the GOES measurements of a severe thunderstorm anvil on 2 May 1979 presented in Part I (Heymsfield et al.) showed a ?V? shaped region of low infrared temperatures (TBB) and an internal region of high TBB. ...
Thunderstorm Top Structure Observed by Aircraft Overflights with an Infrared Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thunderstorm top structure is examined with high spatial resolution radiometric data (visible and infrared) from aircraft overflights together with other storm views, including geosynchronous satellite observations. Results ...
