Abstract: Analysis of satellite-derived oceanic rainfall maps reveals certain distinctive characteristics of global patterns for the years 1973?74. The main ones are: 1) the forking of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in the ...

Abstract: Twelve acoustic grenade experiments were conducted during the period September 1968?February 1969 from Barrow, Alaska (71N). These measurements were intended to monitor the transition in the thermal structure of the ...

Abstract: Temperature and wind soundings of the stratosphere and mesosphere using the acoustic grenade technique were made over Barrow, Alaska (71N), during the arctic winter night and during the summer. The winter mesosphere ...

Abstract: The Electrically Scanned Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) on the Nimbus 5 satellite measures the microwave radiation emitted by the earth and the atmosphere in a wavelength band centered at 1.55 cm. The ESMR scans perpendicularly ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for calculating microwave radiative transfer in raining atmospheres is developed. These calculations are compared with microwave brightness temperatures at a wavelength of 1.55 cm measured by the ...
