The Distribution of C2n as Measured by 50-, 405-, and 915-MHz Wind Profilers
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)The distribution of backscattered power was computed for three wind profilers in the Colorado network that operated at 50,405, and 915 MHz. Since the backscattered power is a function of fluctuations in the refractivity ... -
An Evaluation of the WOCE Volunteer Observing Ship–XBT Network in the Atlantic
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)A volunteer observing ship (VOS)-expendable bathythermograph (XBT) network has been proposed for the Atlantic Ocean to satisfy World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) objectives in the upper water column. These objectives ... -
Satellite-Image-derived Gulf Stream Currents Compared with Numerical Model Results
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)Sequential infrared satellite imagery is used to objectively compute surface currents in the Gulf Stream region using the maximum correlation (MCC) method. The infrared images, filtered for cloud cover, are used to find ... -
The Effect of Line Averaging on Scalar Flux Measurements with a Sonic Anemometer near the Surface
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)We present a theoretical analysis of the effect of line averaging by a sonic anemometer on scalar fluxes and an observational study of this phenomenon in the atmospheric surface layer. The theoretical analysis rests on an ... -
The Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (ALACE)
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)The autonomous Lagrangian circulation explorer (ALACE) is a subsurface float that cycles vertically from a depth where it is neutrally buoyant to the surface where it is located by, and relays data to, System Argos satellites. ... -
Analysis of Rotating Multicylinder Data in Measuring Cloud-Droplet Size and Liquid Water Content
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)An objective method is presented for the analysis of rotating multicylinder data in measuring the liquid water content and median volume droplet diameter of icing clouds. The method is based on time-dependent numerical ... -
A Roughness-Detection Technique for Objectively Classifying Drops and Graupel in 2D-Image Records
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)The development and evaluation of a new computerized technique for classifying drops and graupel in two-dimensional (2D)-image records is described. The method is unique because images are classified as drops or graupel ... -
Radar Observations of Transport and Diffusion in Clouds and Precipitation Using TRACIR
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)A remote-sensing technique called TRACIR (tracking air with circular-polarization radar) was developed recently for studying air-parcel trajectories in clouds. The technique uses a dual-circular-polarization radar to detect ... -
Comparisons of the NASA ER-2 Meteorological Measurement System with Radar Tracking and Radiosonde Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)Measurements of aircraft longitude, latitude, and velocity, and measurements of atmospheric pressure, temperature, and horizontal wind from the meteorological measurement system (MMS) on board the NASA ER-2 aircraft were ... -
Effects of Small-Scale Vertical Motion on Radar Measurements of Wind and Temperature Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)Vertical velocities were observed during the month of June 1990 with two side-by-side wind profilers at Platteville, Colorado. Many of the observations reveal strong wave motion, probably mountain lee waves, that sometimes ... -
Estimation of the Sea-State Bias in Radar Altimeter Geosat Data from Examination of Frontal Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)The sea-state bias is the deviation of the sea surface height as seen by a satellite altimeter due to differential scattering by the crest and troughs of waves and to oversimplification of the radar waveform algorithms ... -
The Maximum-Likelihood Property of Estimators of Wave Parameters from Heave, Pitch, and Roll Buoys
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)It is shown that ocean-wave spectrum parameters obtained from spectra of time series measured with heave, pitch, and roll data buoys are maximum-likelihood (ML) estimators under certain assumptions about the wave field. A ... -

The Effect of Prongs in the Measurement of Atmospheric Turbulence with Fine-Wire Resistance Transducers
(American Meteorological Society, 1992)The response of the fine-wire resistance temperature transducer was analyzed including the effects of (i) conducive heat transfer between wire and the supporting prong and (ii) a thermal boundary layer, which can form ... -
Determining Vertical Water Velocities from Seaglider
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)ertical velocities in the world?s oceans are typically small, less than 1 cm s?1, posing a significant challenge for observational techniques. Seaglider, an autonomous profiling instrument, can be used to estimate vertical ... -
Pressure Sensor Drifts in Argo and Their Impacts
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)n recent years, autonomous profiling floats have become the prime component of the in situ ocean observing system through the implementation of the Argo program. These data are now the dominant input to estimates of the ... -
High-Resolution Imaging of the Ocean Surface Backscatter by Inversion of Altimeter Waveforms
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)his paper presents a new method to analyze high-resolution altimeter waveforms in terms of surface backscatter. Over the ocean, a basic assumption of modeling altimeter echo waveforms is to consider a homogeneous sea surface ...
