Removing Unwanted Fluctuations in the AVHRR Thermal Calibration Data Using Robust Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study deals with analysis of thermal calibration of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) aboard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) spacecrafts. In particular, the effects caused by ...
Assimilation of Circumpolar Wind Vectors Derived from Highly Elliptical Orbit Imagery: Impact Assessment Based on Observing System Simulation Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: here is a well-recognized spatiotemporal meteorological observation gap at latitudes higher than 55°, especially in the region 55°?70°. A possible solution to address this issue is a constellation of four satellites in a ...
Inference of Cloud Optical Depth from Aircraft-Based Solar Radiometric Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is introduced for inferring cloud optical depth τ from solar radiometric measurements made on an aircraft at altitude z. It is assessed using simulated radiometric measurements produced by a 3D Monte Carlo algorithm ...
The ScaRaB Earth Radiation Budget Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Following an overview of the scientific objectives and organization of the French?Russian?German Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) project, brief descriptions of the instrument, its ground calibration, and in-flight ...
