Simulation of the Effects of Tropical Heat Sources on the Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For 35 seasons in the years 1974?84, the importance of seasonal anomalies in tropical diabatic heating was investigated for the circulation in the tropics and in the extratropics. The heating was estimated from anomalies ...
Angular Distribution of Solar Radiation Reflected from Clouds as Determined from TIROS IV Radiometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The pattern of reflection of solar radiation from clouds as a function of angle is obtained by statistical analysis of observations from the TIROS IV visible radiation channel (0.55?0.75 ?). Readings from the water-vapor ...
