RISEvaluation of the Dropsonde Humidity Sensor Using Data from DYCOMS-II and IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dropsonde humidity data have not been fully utilized due to lack of knowledge on performance of the dropsonde humidity sensor. This study evaluates the performance of the dropsonde humidity sensor using data collected ...
Systematic Errors in Global Radiosonde Precipitable Water Data from Comparisons with Ground-Based GPS Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global, 10-yr (February 1997?April 2006), 2-hourly dataset of atmospheric precipitable water (PW) was produced from ground-based global positioning system (GPS) measurements of zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) at approximately ...
Diurnal and Semidiurnal Tides in Global Surface Pressure Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global surface pressure data from 1976 to 1997 from over 7500 land stations and the Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set have been analyzed using harmonic and zonal harmonic methods. It is found that the diurnal pressure ...
Effects of Cloud Vertical Structure on Atmospheric Circulation in the GISS GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thirteen experiments have been performed using the Goddard Institute for Space Studies General Circulation Model (GISS GCM) to investigate the response of the large-scale circulation to different macroscale cloud vertical ...
Determination of Cloud Vertical Structure from Upper-Air Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described to use rawinsonde data to estimate cloud vertical structure, including cloud-top and cloud-base heights, cloud-layer thickness, and the characteristics of multilayered clouds. Cloud-layer base and top ...
Trends in Tropospheric Humidity from 1970 to 2008 over China from a Homogenized Radiosonde Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adiosonde humidity data provide the longest record for assessing changes in atmospheric water vapor, but they often contain large discontinuities because of changes in instrumentation and observational practices. In this ...
A Statistical Model of Cloud Vertical Structure Based on Reconciling Cloud Layer Amounts Inferred from Satellites and Radiosonde Humidity Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To diagnose how cloud processes feed back on weather- and climate-scale variations of the atmosphere requires determining the changes that clouds produce in the atmospheric diabatic heating by radiation and precipitation ...
The Influence of Radiosonde “Age” on TRMM Field Campaign Soundings Humidity Correction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hundreds of Vaisala sondes with an RS80-H Humicap thin-film capacitor humidity sensor were launched during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) field campaigns (1999) Large Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere (LBA) ...
Cloud Vertical Structure and Its Variations from a 20-Yr Global Rawinsonde Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global cloud vertical structure (CVS) climatic dataset is created by applying an analysis method to a 20-yr collection of twice-daily rawinsonde humidity profiles to estimate the height of cloud layers. The CVS dataset ...
Measuring ARTSE2017: Results from Wyoming and New York
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe 21 August 2017 total solar eclipse was the first total eclipse on the mainland of the United States since 1979. The Atmospheric Responses of 2017 Total Solar Eclipse (ARTSE2017) project was created to observe ...
