An Evaluation of Some Methods of Estimating the Vertical Atmospheric Ozone Distribution from the Inversion of Spectral Ultraviolet Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three methods for estimating the vertical distribution of ozone below 10 mb, by inverting the equation of radiative transfer, are presented. The methods are discussed in terms of spectral measurements of back-scattered ...
Some Effects of Multiple Scattering on Heating Rates in the Ozone Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of multiple scattering on the heating rates in the ozone layer are investigated. Computations are performed for two wavelengths, one rather highly absorbing, ?=3112 Å, and one rather weakly absorbing, ?=3323 ...
The Statistical Prediction of the Vertical Ozone Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Total ozone amounts and spectral measurements of backscattered ultraviolet radiation received by a satellite are used as statistical predictors of the vertical ozone distribution at Boulder, Colo. The distribution is ...
Estimating the Vertical Atmospheric Ozone Distribution by Inverting the Radiative Transfer Equation for Pure Molecular Scattering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of estimating the vertical distribution of ozone by inverting the equation of radiative transfer is presented. The method allows for all orders of scattering as well as polarization of the diffusely reflected ...
Cross-Spectral Analysis of Sunspots and Monthly Mean Temperature and Precipitation for the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The finite Fourier transform method of cross-spectral analysis is used to investigate the relationship between the Zurich annual sunspot number and state monthly mean temperature and precipitation derived from the ...
An Interactive Severe Weather Activity to Motivate Student Learning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An interactive web?based severe weather activity has been developed at Iowa State University with broad applications to motivate student learning. The exercise uses an extensive archive of weather data emphasizing warm?season ...
A Forecasting Activity for a Large Introductory Meteorology Course
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large lecture introductory course at Iowa State University has used a forecasting activity since 1993 to actively engage students in doing science. This automatically scored Web?based activity requires students to evaluate ...
