Correlation-Based Interpolation of NSCAT Wind Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) wind estimates cover about 75% of the globe. The remaining data gaps, which require interpolation, are regularly distributed in space and time. The development of this interpolation algorithm ...
Evaluation of Latent Heat Flux Fields from Satellites and Models during SEMAPHORE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Latent heat fluxes were derived from satellite observations in the region of Structure des Echanges Mer?Atmosphère, Propriétés des Hétérogénéités Océaniques: Recherche Expérimentale (SEMAPHORE), which was conducted near ...
Humidity Profiles over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere affects climate change through radiative balance and surface evaporation. The variabilities of atmospheric humidity profile over oceans from daily to interannual time scales ...
QuikSCAT Satellite Comparisons with Nearshore Buoy Wind Data off the U.S. West Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To determine the accuracy of nearshore winds from the QuikSCAT satellite, winds from three satellite datasets (scientifically processed swath, gridded near-real-time, and gridded science datasets) were compared to those ...
