The Limb Adjustment of AMSU-A Observations: Methodology and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) is the first of a new generation of polar-orbiting cross-track microwave sounders operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A feature of a cross-track ...
Near-Real-Time Surface-Based CAPE from Merged Hyperspectral IR Satellite Sounder and Surface Meteorological Station Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractNear-real-time satellite-derived temperature and moisture soundings provide information about the changing atmospheric vertical thermodynamic structure occurring between successive routine National Weather Service ...
Estimation of Near-Real-Time Outgoing Longwave Radiation from Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study describes the algorithm for deriving near-real-time outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) hyperspectral infrared sounder radiance measurements. The estimation of OLR on a ...
AIRS: Improving Weather Forecasting and Providing New Data on Greenhouse Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and its two companion microwave sounders, AMSU and HSB were launched into polar orbit onboard the NASA Aqua Satellite in May 2002. NASA required the sounding system to provide ...
