Cloud Parameters and Temperature Profile Retrieval from Infrared Sounder Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An inversion method is applied to the remote sensing of atmospheric temperature profiles in the presence of clouds. The method simultaneously calculates cloud-top pressure, amount and spectral emissivity, along with the ...
Microwave and Infrared Simulations of an Intense Convective System and Comparison with Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional cloud model, radiative transfer model-based simulation system is tested and validated against the aircraft-based radiance observations of an intense convective system in southeastern Virginia on 29 June ...
Microwave Simulations of a Tropical Rainfall System with a Three-Dimensional Cloud Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional cloud model-microwave radiative transfer model combination is used to study the relations among the precipitation and other microphysical characteristics of a tropical oceanic squall line and the upwelling ...
Aircraft Microwave Observations and Simulations of Deep Convection from 18 to 183 GHz. Part II: Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part II of the 29 June 1986 case study, a radiative transfer model is used to simulate the aircraft multichannel microwave brightness temperatures presented in Part I and to study the convective storm structure. ...
The Australian Air Quality Forecasting System. Part II: Case Study of a Sydney 7-Day Photochemical Smog Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of the Australian Air Quality Forecasting System (AAQFS) is examined by means of a case study of a 7-day photochemical smog event in the Sydney region. This was the worst smog event for the 2000/ 01 oxidant ...
The Australian Air Quality Forecasting System. Part I: Project Description and Early Outcomes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Australian Air Quality Forecasting System (AAQFS) is the culmination of a 3-yr project to develop a numerical primitive equation system for generating high-resolution (1?5 km) short-term (24?36 h) forecasts for the ...
