    • Thermal Lag Correction on Slocum CTD Glider Data 

      Garau, Bartolomé; Ruiz, Simón; Zhang, Weifeng G.; Pascual, Ananda; Heslop, Emma; Kerfoot, John; Tintoré, Joaquín (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      n this work a new methodology is proposed to correct the thermal lag error in data from unpumped CTD sensors installed on Slocum gliders. The advantage of the new approach is twofold: first, it takes into account the ...

    • Monitoring of IR Clear-Sky Radiances over Oceans for SST (MICROS) 

      Liang, Xingming; Ignatov, Alexander (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      onitoring of IR Clear-Sky Radiances over Oceans for SST (MICROS) is a Web-based tool to monitor ?model minus observation? (M ? O) biases in clear-sky brightness temperatures (BTs) and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) produced ...

    • Spatial and Temporal Sampling of Polar Regions from Two-Satellite System on Molniya Orbit 

      Trishchenko, Alexander P.; Garand, Louis (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      here has been a significant increase of interest in the building of a comprehensive Arctic observing system in recent years to properly and timely track the environmental and climate processes in this vast region. In this ...

    • Estimating Geostrophic Shear from Seismic Images of Oceanic Structure 

      Sheen, Katy L.; White, Nicky; Caulfield, C. P.; Hobbs, Richard W. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      t is shown that geostrophic vertical shear estimates can be recovered from seismic (i.e., acoustic) images of thermohaline structure. In the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current forms a loop within the Falkland ...

    • Raman Lidar Profiling of Tropospheric Water Vapor over Kangerlussuaq, Greenland 

      Neely, Ryan Reynolds; Thayer, Jeffrey P. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      new measurement capability has been implemented in the Arctic Lidar Technology (ARCLITE) system at the Sondrestrom upper-atmosphere research facility near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (67.0°N, 50.9°W), enabling estimates of ...

    • Automatic Detection of Cloud Cover over the Baltic Sea 

      Krężel, Adam; Paszkuta, Marcin (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      simple detection method was proposed to increase the efficiency of automatic classification of a satellite image cell (clear/cloudy). A method is described on the basis of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) ...

    • Improved Normalization of the Size Distribution of Atmospheric Particles Retrieved from Aureole Measurements Using the Diffraction Approximation 

      DeVore, J. G. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      his paper describes an improvement in the diffraction approximation used to retrieve the size distribution of atmospheric particles from solar aureole radiance measurements. Normalization using total optical thickness based ...

    • Can Wind Lidars Measure Turbulence? 

      Sathe, A.; Mann, J.; Gottschall, J.; Courtney, M. S. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      odeling of the systematic errors in the second-order moments of wind speeds measured by continuous-wave (ZephIR) and pulsed (WindCube) lidars is presented. These lidars use the conical scanning technique to measure the ...

    • Asymptotic Properties of an Autocorrelation Coefficient for Coherent Doppler Sonar 

      Dillon, Jeremy; Zedel, Len; Hay, Alex E. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      new formula is derived for the asymptotic form of the magnitude of an autocorrelation coefficient for coherent Doppler sonar. The autocorrelation magnitude is shown to be a biased estimator in the limit of infinite ensemble ...

    • Characterizing the FY-3A Microwave Temperature Sounder Using the ECMWF Model 

      Lu, Qifeng; Bell, William; Bauer, Peter; Bormann, Niels; Peubey, Carole (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      hina?s Feng-Yun-3A (FY-3A), launched in May 2008, is the first in a series of seven polar-orbiting meteorological satellites planned for the next decade by China. The FY-3 series is set to become an important data source ...

    • Estimating Gale to Hurricane Force Winds Using the Satellite Altimeter 

      Quilfen, Yves; Vandemark, Doug; Chapron, Bertrand; Feng, Hui; Sienkiewicz, Joe (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      new model is provided for estimating maritime near-surface wind speeds (U10) from satellite altimeter backscatter data during high wind conditions. The model is built using coincident satellite scatterometer and altimeter ...

      Tamura, Takeshi; Ohshima, Kay I.; Markus, Thorsten; Cavalieri, Donald J.; Nihashi, Sohey; Hirasawa, Naohiko (American Meteorological Society, 2007)
      Antarctic coastal polynyas are important areas of high sea ice production and dense water formation, and thus their detection including an estimate of thin ice thickness is essential. In this paper, the authors propose an ...
