RISSouthern Hemisphere Stratospheric Circulation as Indicated by Shipboard Meteorological Rocket Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological data from the NASA Mobile Launch Expedition aboard USNS Croatan are utilized to investigate the early autumn stratospheric circulation of the Southern Hemisphere. Time-height and cross-section analyses ...
Diurnal Variation of Temperature in the Upper Stratosphere as Indicated by a Meteorological Rocket Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fourteen HASP and two ARCAS rockets, carrying WOX-1A and Arcasonde 1A instrumentation, respectively, were launched at Wallops Island during a 39-hr period in September 1965 to gain information regarding 1) the daily variation ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Upper-Tropospheric Clouds Measured by GOES-VAS and the ISCCP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of diurnal cycles in high clouds (<440 hPa) measured by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) Atmospheric Sounder (GOES-VAS) and the International ...
Radiance and Cloud Analyses from GOES-VAS Dwell Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis technique for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-VISSR (Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) Atmospheric Sounder (GOES-VAS) sounder data was developed to extract cloud and clear radiance ...
Total Ozone from NOAA Satellites—A Physical Model for Obtaining Measurements with High Spatial Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physical model is presented for calculating the total ozone amount from HIRS radiance measurements from TIROS-N/NOAA satellites. Simulations and retrievals indicate that the total ozone amount can be retrieved with an ...
Quasi-Biennial Cycles in Angular Momentum Transports at 500 mb
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geostrophic angular momentum transport at 500 mb has been computed as a function of latitude and zonal wave number for a 10-yr period. The record has been inspected for evidence of periodic variations at latitudes 17.5N, ...
SYNOPTIC ANALYSES OF THE 5-, 2-, AND 0.4-MILLIBAR SURFACES FOR THE IQSY PERIOD
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rocket data from the Meteorological Rocket Network and other sources, in addition to high-level rawinsonde observations, are being employed to analyze a series of 5-, 2-, and 0.4-mb. charts. The broadscale analyses are ...
Regression Technique for Determining Temperature Profiles in the Upper Stratosphere From Satellite-Measured Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a statistical regression technique for specifying the vertical temperature profile above 10 mb from satellite radiances simulated for the Satellite Infrared Spectrometer B (SIRS B) instrument when the ...
Combined Atmospheric Sounding/Cloud Imagery—A New Forecasting Tool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for displaying sounding and cloud information in a composite image is described. Examples are shown to illustrate how a forecaster may use a time sequence of these images to monitor changes in atmospheric moisture ...
Vertical Resolution and Accuracy of Atmospheric Infrared Sounding Spectrometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical analysis is performed to evaluate the accuracy and vertical resolution of atmospheric profiles obtained with the HIRS/2, GOES I/M, and HIS instruments. In addition, a linear simultaneous retrieval algorithm ...
