Abstract: A nonlinear physical retrieval algorithm is developed and applied to the GOES-8/9 sounder radiance observations. The algorithm utilizes Newtonian iteration in which the maximum probability solution for temperature and water ...

Abstract: irrus clouds play an important role in the global radiation budget balance. However, the existing MODIS and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) cirrus cloud test algorithms struggle to provide accurate cirrus ...

Abstract: Pressure vessels covered with overlaying layer or coating are widely applied due to its strong heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and loadcarrying capacity. However, limited work has been reported on investigating the ...
