Abstract: The paper describes the results of an experiment where, for a series of flights, Philips RS4 and Väisälä RS80 radiosondes were mounted on the same balloon. It is shown that there are both random and systematic differences ...

Abstract: The retrieval of vertical profiles of temperature and water vapor from atmospheric radiances is an ill-posed, nonlinear inversion problem. A linear retrieval estimator must be cast in a form which both minimizes the effects ...

Abstract: Twelve months of Southern Hemisphere (maritime) midlatitudes Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer local area coverage data at full radiometric and spatial resolution have been collocated with rain-rate data from three ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the first application of a multispectral textural Bayesian cloud classification algorithm (?SRTex?) to the general problem of the determination of high?spatial resolution cloud-amount and cloud-type ...

Abstract: Bayesian methods are used to develop a cloud mask classification algorithm for use in an operational sea surface temperature (SST) retrieval processing system for Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) local area ...
