Abstract: TIROS II measured the emission from the planet Earth in the atmospheric water-vapor window near 10 microns. During carefully selected times, when no clouds were present near sunrise or near noon, the measurements served ...

Abstract: The appearance of the Earth as seen from space changes continually. These changes in brightness and in color are produced by interactions between (1) geographical factors, such as coasts and mountains; (2) seasonal factors, ...

Abstract: For the case when absorption is negligible, the direct and scattered solar beams have been followed down into clouds of ?large? spherical waterdrops, to calculate the distribution of the generation of diffuse energy in the ...

Abstract: The mean characteristics of the Aleutian low in January and February are compared. The comparison is made separately for years when the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) was anomalously high, and when the SST ...

Abstract: The precipitation over northern Honduras in December was significantly correlated with 700 mb heights over Valencia, Ireland. (Measurements at Valencia were used to represent a more accurate indicator of the variations in ...

Abstract: Nimbus III carried a Satellite Infra-Red Spectrometer (SIRS) with which the temperature structure of the atmosphere can be observed. The most opaque spectral interval on SIRS was centered at 669.3 cm?1 (?15 ?). At this ...

Abstract: Nimbus 3 and 4 satellites carried Satellite Infrared Spectrometers (SIRS-A and SIRS-B, respectively). One of the channels on each spectrometer measured the energy emitted from the stratosphere in a narrow wavelength interval ...

Abstract: The temperature of the atmosphere cannot be deduced from satellite radiance measurements alone; additional information is required. The additional required information is related to the detailed vertical temperature structure ...

Abstract: When air stagnates in dark polar regions, an inversion forms. The change of the inversion magnitude is studied under the assumption that the snow surface radiates about as much energy as it receives from the atmosphere. ...
