General Matrix Inversion Technique for the Calibration of Electric Field Sensor Arrays on Aircraft Platforms
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A matrix calibration procedure has been developed that uniquely relates the electric fields measured at the aircraft with the external vector electric field and net aircraft charge. The calibration method can be generalized ... -

Surface Salinity Measurements—COSMOS 2005 Experiment in the Bay of Biscay
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Sea surface salinity (SSS) data were collected in the Bay of Biscay between April and November 2005. The major source of data is 15 surface drifters deployed during the COSMOS experiment in early April and early May 2005 ... -
Improvement of the Temperature and Moisture Retrievals in the Lower Troposphere Using AIRS and GPS Radio Occultation Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Accurate temperature and water vapor profiles in the middle and lower troposphere (LT) are crucial for understanding the water cycle, cloud systems, and energy balance. Global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation ... -
Error Estimation of Buoy, Satellite, and Model Wave Height Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Triple collocation is a powerful method to estimate the rms error in each of three collocated datasets, provided the errors are not correlated. Wave height analyses from the operational European Centre for Medium-Range ... -
The Real-Time Data Management System for Argo Profiling Float Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Argo is an internationally coordinated program directed at deploying and maintaining an array of 3000 temperature and salinity profiling floats on a global 3° latitude ? 3° longitude grid. Argo floats are deployed from ... -
Assessing NOAA-16 HIRS Radiance Accuracy Using Simultaneous Nadir Overpass Observations from AIRS
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) has been carried on NOAA satellites for more than two decades, and the HIRS data have been widely used for geophysical retrievals, climate studies, and radiance ... -
Wind Profiler Observations over the Central Equatorial Pacific: Optimizing Processing to Improve Quality and Height Coverage
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)UHF (boundary layer) and VHF (troposphere?stratosphere) wind profilers have operated at Christmas Island (2°N, 157°W) in the central equatorial Pacific from 1986 to 2002. Observed profiles of winds are sparse over the ... -
Geoelectric Monitoring of Wind-Driven Barotropic Transports in the Baltic Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The possibility of using data from a cable-based observational system for long-term monitoring of barotropic flow in the Baltic Sea was investigated. Measurements were made of the induced potential differences between Visby ... -
Targeted Dropwindsondes in Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The dropwindsonde (or dropsonde) is a frequently utilized tool in geophysical research and its use over ocean and flat terrain is a reliable and well-established practice. Its use in complex terrain, however, is complicated ... -
Demonstration Measurements of Water Vapor, Cirrus Clouds, and Carbon Dioxide Using a High-Performance Raman Lidar
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Profile measurements of atmospheric water vapor, cirrus clouds, and carbon dioxide using the Raman Airborne Spectroscopic lidar (RASL) during ground-based, upward-looking tests are presented here. These measurements improve ... -
Phase Coding for Range Ambiguity Mitigation in Dual-Polarized Doppler Weather Radars
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)This paper evaluates the retrieval of polarimetric variables when phase-coded waveforms are employed to suppress range overlaid echoes. A phase-coded waveform tags transmitted pulses with a phase code and then decodes the ... -
Spectral Wave–Turbulence Decomposition
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A new method of wave?turbulence decomposition is introduced, for which the only instrument required is one high-frequency pointwise velocity sensor. This is a spectral method that assumes equilibrium turbulence and no ... -
Analysis of Abnormal Wave Records by the Hilbert–Huang Transform Method
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The Hilbert?Huang transform method is used in this work to analyze wave records from the North Sea, which include abnormal waves. The analysis of the characteristics of abnormal waves is based on the local decomposition ... -
Design of the AmeriFlux Portable Eddy Covariance System and Uncertainty Analysis of Carbon Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The AmeriFlux network continues to improve the understanding of carbon, water, and energy fluxes across temporal and spatial scales. The network includes ?120 research sites that contribute to the understanding of processes ... -

Detection and Correction of Diurnal Sampling Bias in HIRS/2 Brightness Temperatures
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Diurnal sampling biases arise in the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) satellite observations because some of the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites drift significantly from their original local observation ... -
Comments on “In Situ Atmospheric Turbulence Measurement Using the Terrestrial Magnetic Field—A Compass for a Radiosonde”

Beam Multiplexing Using the Phased-Array Weather Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The recently installed S-band phased-array radar (PAR) at the National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) offers fast and flexible beam steering through electronic beam forming. This capability allows the implementation of a ... -
Estimating Eddy Heat Flux from Float Data in the North Atlantic: The Impact of Temporal Sampling Interval
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Acoustically tracked float data from 16 experiments carried out in the North Atlantic are used to evaluate the feasibility of estimating eddy heat fluxes from floats. Daily float observations were bin averaged in 2° by 2° ...
