RISFurther Study on Atmospheric Lapse Rate Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lapse rate, moist adiabatic lapse rate and the critical lapse rate for baroclinic adjustment are calculated as was done by Stone and Carlson using a different data set covering both hemispheres. Results show very good ...
An Earth Outgoing Longwave Radiation Climate Model. Part II: Radiation with Clouds Included
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An Earth outgoing longwave radiation (OLWR) climate model was constructed for radiation budget studies. The model consists of the upward radiative transfer parameterization of Thompson and Warren, the cloud cover model of ...
An Earth Outgoing Longwave Radiation Climate Model. Part I: Clear Sky Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An Earth outgoing longwave radiation (OLWR) climate model has been constructed for a monthly average radiation budget study. The model consists of the upward radiative transfer parameterization of Thompson and Warren and ...
An Improved Cloud Retrieval Algorithm Using HIRS2-MSU Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud-top heights and cloud amounts are produced as part of the operational processing of polar-satellite data at the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). These products were compared ...
Comparison of an Experimental NOAA AVHRR Cloud Dataset with Other Observed and Forecast Cloud Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: CLAVR [cloud from AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)] is a global cloud dataset under development at NOAA/NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service). Total cloud amount from two ...
Evaluation of the Earth Radiation Budget in NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis with ERBE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of the NCEP?NCAR Reanalysis (the reanalysis) by comparing its components of the earth radiation budget to satellite data. Monthly mean clear sky (CS) and total sky of outgoing longwave ...
Characteristics of the NOAA/NESDIS Cloud Retrieval Algorithm Using HIRS-MSU Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud retrieval algorithm using NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder 2 Microwave Sounding Unit measurements from a polar-orbiting satellite, ...
The 1985 Biomass Burning Season in South America: Satellite Remote Sensing of Fires, Smoke, and Regional Radiative Energy Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using satellite imagery, more than five million square kilometers of the forest and cerrado regions over South America are extensively studied to monitor fires and smoke during the 1985 biomass burning season. The results ...
NCEP–DOE AMIP-II Reanalysis (R-2)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NCEP?DOE Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP-II) reanalysis is a follow-on project to the ?50-year? (1948-present) NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis Project. NCEP?DOE AMIP-II reanalysis covers the ?20-year? satellite ...
