A Study of the Mesoscale Wind Circulation in a Land-Sea Breeze Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mesoscale wind circulation along the central Oregon coast is investigated by use of surface data gathered during the Coastal Upwelling Experiment 2 (CUE-2). A case with prevailing NNW winds, typical of the general ...
Supporting Meteorological Field Experiment Missions and Postmission Analysis with Satellite Digital Data and Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ic and oceanographic field experiments are an important part of research programs aimed at enhancing observational analyses of meteorological and oceanic phenomena, validating new datasets, and/or supporting hypotheses. ...
Interpretation of TRMM TMI Images of Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Images of the 85-GHz frequency from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft are routinely viewed by forecasters for tropical cyclone analyses. These ...
The Impact of Multispectral GOES-8 Wind Information on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasts in 1995. Part II: NOGAPS Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experimental wind datasets were derived for two time periods (13?20 July and 24 August?10 September 1995) from GOES-8 observations processed at the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite ...
Detecting Gulf of Mexico Oceanographic Features in Summer Using AVHRR Channel 3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Efforts to monitor the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current and mesoscale ocean features using IR satellite imagery in the summertime have been significantly hindered by 1) strong surface heating that masks surface frontal gradients ...
Near-Real-Time Applications of CloudSat Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Within 2 months of its launch in April 2006 as part of the Earth Observing System A-Train satellite constellation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) CloudSat mission ...
Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Oceanic Mixed Layer Observations in Hurricane Josephine Obtained from Air-Deployed Drifting Buoys and Research Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three drifting buoys were successfully air-dropped ahead of Hurricane Josephine. This deployment resulted in detailed simultaneous measurements of surface wind speed, surface pressure and subsurface ocean temperature during ...
Real–Time Internet Distribution of Satellite Products for Tropical Cyclone Reconnaissance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) monitoring requires the use of multiple satellites and sensors to accurately assess TC location and intensity. Visible and infrared (vis/IR) data provide the bulk of TC information, but upper?level ...
IIth AMS Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The American Meteorological Society (AMS) held its 11th Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin, during 15?18 October 2001. The purpose of the ...
Tropical Cyclone Characterization via Nocturnal Low-Light Visible Illumination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ghttime visible digital data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has the potential to compliment the current infrared imagery standard bearer in monitoring global tropical cyclone characteristics.
