RISCombining Microwave Radiometer and Wind Profiler Radar Measurements for High-Resolution Atmospheric Humidity Profiling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A self-consistent remote sensing physical method to retrieve atmospheric humidity high-resolution profiles by synergetic use of a microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) and wind profiler radar (WPR) is illustrated. The ...
Diagnosis of Three-Dimensional Water Vapor Using a GPS Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In recent years techniques have been developed to obtain integrated water vapor along slant paths between ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and the GPS satellites. Results are presented of an observing ...
Rapid Mesoscale Environmental Changes Accompanying Genesis of an Unusual Tornado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study documents a very rapid increase in convective instability, vertical wind shear, and mesoscale forcing for ascent leading to the formation of a highly unusual tornado as detected by a ground-based microwave ...
Improved Retrieval of Integrated Water Vapor from Water Vapor Radiometer Measurements Using Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor radiometer (WVR) retrieval algorithms require a priori information on atmospheric conditions along the line of sight of the radiometer in order to derive opacities from observed brightness temperatures. This ...
GPS Meteorology: Mapping Zenith Wet Delays onto Precipitable Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Emerging networks of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used in the remote sensing of atmospheric water vapor. The time-varying zenith wet delay observed at each GPS receiver in a network can be transformed ...
GPS/STORM—GPS Sensing of Atmospheric Water Vapor for Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric water vapor was measured with six Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers for 1 month at sites in Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. During the time of the experiment from 7 May to 2 June 1993, the area experienced ...
The Promise of GPS in Atmospheric Monitoring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for active measurement of the Earth's atmosphere. Microwave radio signals transmitted by GPS satellites are delayed (refracted) by the ...
The Use of GPS Measurements for Water Vapor Determination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A workshop on the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in weather and climate with emphasis on water vapor determination, was organized by the National Environmental Research Council's (NERC) Environmental ...
GPS Meteorology: Direct Estimation of the Absolute Value of Precipitable Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple approach to estimating vertically integrated atmospheric water vapor, or precipitable water, from Global Positioning System (GPS) radio signals collected by a regional network of ground-based geodetic GPS receiver ...
SuomiNet: A Real–Time National GPS Network for Atmospheric Research and Education
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: "SuomiNet, " a university?based, real?time, national Global Positioning System (GPS) network, is being developed for atmospheric research and education with funding from the National Science Foundation and with cost share ...
