Abstract: A combination of measurements from satellites and surface stations show that, although more solarenergy is absorbed in tropical regions than previously believed, most of this energy is added to the oceanrather than the atmosphere.

Abstract: The poleward energy transports in the atmosphere?ocean system are estimated for the annual mean and the four seasons based on satellite measurements of the net radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere, atmospheric ...

Abstract: This study focuses on cloudy atmosphere state estimation from high-resolution visible and infrared satellite remote sensing measurements and a mesoscale model with explicit cloud prediction. The cloud state is defined as ...

Abstract: Information content analysis of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounder observations in the infrared was conducted for use in satellite data assimilation. Information content is defined as a ...

Abstract: Advanced software routines have been developed for digital imaging systems to obtain three- and four- dimensional computer-generated images from meteorological satellite, radar, and conventional data. Time sequences of ...

Abstract: A new weather laboratory for teaching and applied research has laboratory uses DEC workstations and also hosts various microcomputers via a local area network to interface with the Cooperative institute for Research in the ...

Abstract: Three spectrally broadband measurement sets are presently being used for earth radiation budget (ERB) studies. These are the Nimbus-6 ERB (July 1975 to June 1978), the Nimbus-7 ERB (November 1978 to the present), and the ...
