RISNear-Surface Air Temperature Retrieval Derived from AMSU-A and Sea Surface Temperature Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 10-m air temperature (Ta) retrieval using Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A) and satellite-derived sea surface temperature (Ts) observations is presented. The multivariable linear regression retrieval uses AMSU-A ...
Satellite and CALJET Aircraft Observations of Atmospheric Rivers over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean during the Winter of 1997/98
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses a unique combination of airborne and satellite observations to characterize narrow regions of strong horizontal water vapor flux associated with polar cold fronts that occurred over the eastern North Pacific ...
An Improved Near-Surface Specific Humidity and Air Temperature Climatology for the SSM/I Satellite Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: near-surface specific humidity (Qa) and air temperature (Ta) climatology on daily and 0.25° grids was constructed by the objectively analyzed air?sea fluxes (OAFlux) project by objectively merging two recent satellite-derived ...
Satellite and Skin-Layer Effects on the Accuracy of Sea Surface Temperature Measurements from the GOES Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) have facilitated significant improvements in the ability to measure sea surface temperature (SST) from geostationary satellites. Nonetheless, difficulties ...
The Behavior of the Bulk – Skin Sea Surface Temperature Difference under Varying Wind Speed and Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observed and predicted response of the bulk ? skin sea surface temperature difference (δT) to changes in the wind speed and net heat flux is analyzed. Observations of δT from the northern Atlantic and tropical Pacific ...
Meteorological Characteristics and Overland Precipitation Impacts of Atmospheric Rivers Affecting the West Coast of North America Based on Eight Years of SSM/I Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The pre-cold-frontal low-level jet within oceanic extratropical cyclones represents the lower-tropospheric component of a deeper corridor of concentrated water vapor transport in the cyclone warm sector. These corridors ...
Flooding in Western Washington: The Connection to Atmospheric Rivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study utilizes multiple decades of daily streamflow data gathered in four major watersheds in western Washington to determine the meteorological conditions most likely to cause flooding in those watersheds. Two are ...
Improved Oceanic Cool-Skin Corrections Using a Refined Solar Penetration Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The oceanic near-surface temperature profile must be accurately characterized to enable precise determination of air?sea heat exchange and satellite retrievals of sea surface temperature. An improved solar transmission ...
Evaluation of Forecasts of the Water Vapor Signature of Atmospheric Rivers in Operational Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ability of five operational ensemble forecast systems to accurately represent and predict atmospheric rivers (ARs) is evaluated as a function of lead time out to 10 days over the northeastern Pacific Ocean and west coast ...
Assimilation of GPS Radio Occultation Data for an Intense Atmospheric River with the NCEP Regional GSI System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper uses a case study to explore the potential of Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) and Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) global positioning system (GPS) radio ...
