Blending TAC and BUFR Marine In Situ Data for ICOADS Near-Real-Time Release 3.0.2
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)This paper describes the new International Comprehensive Ocean–Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) near-real-time (NRT) release (R3.0.2), with greatly enhanced completeness over the previous version (R3.0.1). R3.0.1 had been ... -
Breakdown of Near-Surface Sea Current from High-Frequency Radar Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)To assess the contribution of wind drag and Stokes drift on the near-surface circulation, a methodology to isolate the geostrophic surface current from high-frequency radar data is developed. The methodology performs a ... -
Detection of Sea Surface Temperature Fronts from SAR Images
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Sea surface temperature (SST) fronts are important for fisheries and marine ecology, as well as upper-ocean dynamics, weather forecasting, and climate monitoring. In this paper, we propose a new approach to detect SST fronts from -
Using OSSEs to Evaluate the Impacts of Geostationary Infrared Sounders
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)An observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) was performed to assess the impact of assimilating hyperspectral infrared (IR) radiances from geostationary orbit on numerical weather prediction, with a focus on the proposed ... -
Can DSD Assumptions Explain the Differences in Satellite Estimates of Warm Rain?
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Satellite-based oceanic precipitation estimates, particularly those derived from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite and -
On the Consistency of the Bottle and CTD Profile Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Nansen bottle casts served as the main oceanographic instrumentation type for more than a century since the establishing of the technique in the late 1890s. Between the end of the 1960s and the end of the 1990s Nansen cast ... -
Optimal Channel Selection of Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer for Surface Pressure Retrieval over Oceans
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The O -
Daily High-Resolution Temperature and Precipitation Fields for the Contiguous United States from 1951 to Present
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)In this paper, a new set of daily gridded fields and area averages of temperature and precipitation is introduced that covers the contiguous United States (CONUS) from 1951 to present. With daily updates and a grid resolution ... -
Estimating Microphysics Properties in Ice-Dominated Clouds from Airborne Ka–W-band Dual-Wavelength Ratio Reflectivity Factor in Close Proximity to In Situ Probes
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Properties of frozen hydrometeors in clouds remain difficult to sense remotely. Estimates of number concentration, distribution shape, ice particle density, and ice water content are essential for connecting cloud processes ... -
Fair-Weather Atmospheric Charge Measurements with a Small UAS
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Atmospheric electricity measurements made from small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are rare but are of increasing interest to the atmospheric science community due to the information that they can provide about aerosol ... -
Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Cloud Radiative Swath (CRS) Edition 4 Data Product
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Satellite observations from Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) radiometers have produced over two decades of world-class data documenting time–space variations in Earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation ... -
A Method for Correcting Staggered Pulse Repetition Time (PRT) and Dual Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Processor Errors in Research Radar Datasets
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Mobile weather radars at high frequencies (C, X, K, and W bands) often collect data using staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) or dual pulse repetition frequency (PRF) modes to extend the effective Nyquist velocity and ... -
Analysis of Displacement Performance for a Horizontal Flowthrough Sequence Water Sampler
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The research on deep-sea hydrothermal fluids, cold springs, and other bottom water bodies has important implications for ecosystems. But the deep-sea environment is very harsh, and many existing sampling devices cannot ... -
Derivation of New Daily Rainfall Values from TAO 1-Min Rain Gauge Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Daily rainfall accumulation estimates have been derived from 1-min volume data collected via self-syphon rain gauges deployed in the Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean (TAO) array of oceanographic buoys. The underlying high-resolution ... -
Bias and Trend Correction of Precipitation Datasets to Force Ocean Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)A novel method to adjust the precipitation produced by atmospheric reanalyses using observational constraints to force ocean models is described. The method allows the preservation of the qualities of the high-resolution ... -
Vertically Resolved Convective–Stratiform Echo-Type Identification and Convectivity Retrieval for Vertically Pointing Radars
