RISLow- and Midlevel Cloud Analysis Using Nighttime Multispectral Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multispectral cloud analysis technique using NOAA-7 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) infrared imagery was developed and tested using the AFGL Man-computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) and the ...
Interpreting Meteorological Satellite Images Using a Color-Composite Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An image-display technique is described that simultaneously combines three meteorological satellite images into a color-image product. The technique reveals many features of meteorological interest. It is frequently noted ...
Analysis of Geostationary Satellite Imagery Using a Temporal-Differencing Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new and innovative cloud analysis technique has been developed that exploits the temporal information content of geostationary satellite imagery. The algorithm is designed to identify new cloud development and moving ...
Analysis and Prediction of Cirrus-Top Altitude and Ice Water Path in a Mesoscale Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical distributions of clouds have been a focus of many studies, motivated by their importance in radiative transfer processes in climate models. This study examines the horizontal distribution of cirrus clouds by means ...
Applying an 8-Bit Multispectral Color-Composite Image Simulation Technique to Operational Real-Time AVHRR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Geophysics Directorate's 8-bit multispectral color-composite image display technique has been installed on the Satellite Data Processing System at the German Military Geophysical Office in Traben-Trarbach, Germany. The ...
Inferring Cirrus Size Distributions through Satellite Remote Sensing and Microphysical Databases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since cirrus clouds have a substantial influence on the global energy balance that depends on their microphysical properties, climate models should strive to realistically characterize the cirrus ice particle size distribution ...
A Description of the Air Force Real-Time Nephanalysis Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC) Real-Time Nephanalysis (RTNEPH) is an automated cloud model that produces a 48-km gridded analysis of cloud amount, cloud type, and cloud height. Its primary input is imagery ...
Using Radio Occultation to Detect Clouds in the Middle and Upper Troposphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Application of Optimal Spectral Sampling for a Real-Time Global Cloud Analysis Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Cloud Depiction and Forecast System version 2 (CDFS II) is the operational global cloud analysis and forecasting model of the 557th Weather Wing, formerly the U.S. Air Force Weather Agency. The CDFS II cloud-detection ...
An Intercomparison of Microphysical Retrieval Algorithms for Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large horizontal extent, with its location in the cold upper troposphere, and ice composition make cirrus clouds important modulators of the Earth's radiation budget and climate. Cirrus cloud microphysical properties ...
