Critical Assessment of Microphysical Assumptions within TRMM Radiometer Rain Profile Algorithm Using Satellite, Aircraft, and Surface Datasets from KWAJEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager precipitation profile retrieval algorithm (2a12) assumes cloud model?derived vertically distributed microphysics as part of the radiative transfer?controlled ...
Application of Satellite- and NWP-Derived Wind Profiles to Military Airdrop Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) has revolutionized military high-altitude airdrop capability, allowing delivery of equipment and supplies to smaller drop zones from higher altitudes than was previously possible. ...
Analysis of a Mesoscale Gravity Wave Event Using Empirical Orthogonal Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is detailed that filters mesoscale gravity wave signals from synoptic-level observation data using empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). Similar EOF analyses have been used to study many oceanographic and ...
A Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Correction Method for Assessing Multispectral Radiative Transfer through Realistic Atmospheres and Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability to quickly and accurately model actual atmospheric conditions is essential to remote sensing analyses. Clouds present a particularly complex challenge, as they cover up to 70% of Earth?s surface, and their ...
Validation of a UV-to-RF High-Spectral-Resolution Atmospheric Boundary Layer Characterization Tool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper demonstrates the capability of the Laser Environmental Effects Definition and Reference (LEEDR) model to accurately characterize the meteorological parameters and radiative transfer effects of the atmospheric ...
Climate Change: Anticipated Effects on High-Energy Laser Weapon Systems in Maritime Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study quantifies the potential impacts on ship-defense high-energy-laser (HEL) performance due to atmospheric effects in the marine boundary layer driven by recent observations and analysis of worldwide sea surface ...
