Surface Salinity Retrieved from SMOS Measurements over the Global Ocean: Imprecisions Due to Sea Surface Roughness and Temperature Uncertainties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission recently led by the European Space Agency (ESA) intends to monitor soil moisture and sea surface salinity (SSS). Since the sensitivity of radiometric L-band signal to SSS ...
A New Optical Instrument for Simultaneous Measurement of Raindrop Diameter and Fall Speed Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a recently developed optical spectro-pluviometer. The principle of the device is based upon the optical occultation of an infrared light beam by falling drops. This allows the retrieval of raindrop-size ...
