NUMERICAL METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE STRATOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION FROM SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS IN THE CO2 BAND
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on Kaplan's idea that the temperature structure of the upper atmosphere may be inferred from satellite measurements, new methods of estimating the temperature distribution are presented and sample calculations are ...
Direct Absorption of Solar Radiation by Atmospheric Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide and Molecular Oxygen
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based mainly on Howard, Burch and Williams' laboratory absorption data for the near infrared H2O and CO2, bands, and on the solar absorption data for the red and near infrared O2 bands, the direct absorption of solar ...
The Determination of Lateral Diffusivity in Diabatic Conditions near the Ground from Diffusion Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional equation of diffusion is solved numerically. Vertical diffusivity derived from the turbulent transfer theory is used, as is an assumed form for the lateral diffusivity containing an unknown parameter ...
ABSORPTION OF SOLAR RADIATION BY WATER VAPOR IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Absorption of solar radiation by water vapor in the atmosphere has been studied, with use of Fowle's observed results and application of Elsasser's transmission function. The results are compared with those of other workers. ...
Radiative Transfer in Water Clouds in the 10-Micron Window Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equation of radiative transfer as applied to water clouds in the window region near 10 microns is solved numerically by using values of the phase function and albedo for single scattering estimated by Deirmendjian ...
Improved Curtis-Godson Approximation in a Non-Homogeneous Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a method of improving the Curtis-Godson approximation for computing transmission along a non-homogeneous path. The present approximation, as well as those by Curtis-Godson and by Goody, are applied to ...
Radiative Transfer in Water Clouds in the Infrared Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of diffuse reflection, transmission and emission of infrared radiation by water clouds is investigated in the wavelength region from 5?50 ?. The drop-size distribution of clouds is assumed to be that of altostratus ...
