Abstract: A new technique is formulated for using eigenvectors of covariance matrices to retrieve atmospheric parameters from spectral radiance observations. The eigenvector method permits the use of all spectral radiances in a ...

Abstract: Monthly mean values of the geostrophic angular momentum transport at 500 mb. have been computed as a function of latitude and zonal wave number (1 through 10) for a 10-yr. period. The total transport is found to be in good ...

Abstract: A least squares regression method is formulated for obtaining global temperature and geopotential height profiles from satellite radiation measurements, particularly those obtained by the Sate1lite Infra-Red Spectrometer ...

Abstract: The method of real-time retrieval of atmospheric temperature profiles from Nimbus IV Satellite Infrared Spectrometer observations currently used in dynamical weather analysis-forecast operation is described. Each vertical ...

Abstract: A method of numerical objective analysis has been developed for application to stratospheric constant-pressure data at the 100-, 50-, 30-, and 10-mb. levels (approximately 16, 20, 24, and 31 km., respectively). This system ...

Abstract: It is shown that the partial interferogram measurement technique, originally developed to separate the trace gas emissions from a spectral signal dominated by background radiation (from the earth's surface) and emissions ...

Abstract: Results of comparisons of wind and temperature data obtained by closely spaced launchings of Japanese MT-135 and American ARCAS meteorological rocket systems are presented. In general, smoothed temperature profiles show a ...

Abstract: The characteristics of the ER-2 aircraft and ground-based High Resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS) instruments deployed during FIRE II are described. A few example spectra are given to illustrate the HIS cloud and ...

Abstract: A high spectral resolution interferometer sounder (GHIS) has been designed for flight on future geostationary meteorological satellites. It incorporates the measurement principles of an aircraft prototype instrument, which ...

Abstract: During the week 29 October?4 November 1988, a Ground-based Atmospheric Profiling Experiment (GAPEX) was conducted at Denver Stapleton International Airport. The objective of GAPEX was to acquire and analyze atomspheric-temperature ...
