Detiding Shipboard ADCP Data in Eastern Boundary Current
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Spatiotemporal fitting by the least squares method is commonly applied to distinguish the mean flow from the tidal current from shipboard ADCP data in coastal ocean. To analyze this technique in a pelagic region of an ... -

An Objective Algorithm for Detecting and Tracking Tropical Cloud Clusters: Implications for Tropical Cyclogenesis Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)n algorithm to detect and track global tropical cloud clusters (TCCs) is presented. TCCs are organized large areas of convection that form over warm tropical waters. TCCs are important because they are the ?seedlings? that ... -

Incorporating Ice Crystal Scattering Databases in the Simulation of Millimeter-Wavelength Radar Reflectivity
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)The Canadian CloudSat/Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Validation Project (C3VP) was designed to acquire aircraft, surface, and satellite observations of particle size distributions ... -
Estimating the Sensitivity of Radiative Impacts of Shallow, Broken Marine Clouds to Boundary Layer Aerosol Size Distribution Parameter Uncertainties for Evaluation of Satellite Retrieval Requirements
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)proposed objective of the planned Aerosol?Cloud?Ecosystem (ACE) satellite mission is to provide constraints on climate model representation of aerosol effects on clouds by retrieving profiles of aerosol number concentration, ... -
The Truncated Geometric Approximation and the Size Distribution of Small Atmospheric Particles
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)his paper describes a simple relationship between the slope of particulate optical depth as a function of wavelength and the size distribution of spherical particles. It is based on approximating extinction using a truncated ... -
An Extensive Comparison of Commercial Pyrheliometers under a Wide Range of Routine Observing Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)n the most comprehensive pyrheliometer comparison known to date, 33 instruments were deployed to measure direct normal solar radiation over a 10-month period in Golden, Colorado. The goal was to determine their performance ... -
A New Low-Cost, Stand-Alone Sensor System for Snow Monitoring
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Monitoring continuous changes in snowpack dynamics and its meteorological drivers is critical for understanding key aspects of water resources, climate variability, and ecology. While manual snow surveys have traditionally ... -
Measurements of Detailed Temperature Profiles within the Radar Range Gate Using the Range Imaging Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)The present study applies the range imaging (RIM) technique to radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) measurements in an attempt to improve the vertical resolution of temperature profiles obtained by RASS measurements. When ... -
Estimation of Near-Ground Propagation Conditions Using Radar Ground Echo Coverage
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)The vertical gradient of refractivity (dN/dh) determines the path of the radar beam; namely, the larger the negative values of the refractivity gradient, the more the beam bends toward the ground. The variability of the ... -
Improving Satellite-Derived Sea Surface Temperature Accuracies Using Water Vapor Profile Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Analyses based on atmospheric infrared radiative transfer simulations and collocated ship and satellite data are used to investigate whether knowledge of vertical atmospheric water vapor distributions can improve the ... -
Community Radiative Transfer Model for Stratospheric Sounding Unit
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)o better use the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU) data for reanalysis and climate studies, issues associated with the fast radiative transfer (RT) model for SSU have recently been revisited and the results have been ... -

Rapid Estimation of Column-Averaged CO2 Concentration Using a Correlation Algorithm
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Measurement of XCO2, the column-averaged mole fraction of CO2, using reflected sunlight in the near-infrared bands of CO2, is strongly influenced by photons that are scattered in the atmosphere because scattering can either ... -
Volume Scanning Strategies for 3D Wind Retrieval from Dual-Doppler Lidar Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Dual-Doppler lidar volume scans for 3D wind retrieval must accommodate the conflicting goals of dense spatial coverage and short scan duration. In this work, various scanning strategies are evaluated with semisynthetic ... -
A New Dual-Polarization Radar Rainfall Algorithm: Application in Colorado Precipitation Events
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)The efficacy of dual-polarization radar for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) has been demonstrated in a number of previous studies. Specifically, rainfall retrievals using combinations of reflectivity (Zh), ... -
Accommodation Study for an Anemometer on a Martian Lander
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Measuring the wind velocity and its turbulent fluctuations near the surface of Mars is an important component of the future exploration of Mars, not only to minimize risk in landing, but also to understand some of the most ... -
Vertical Moistening by AMMA Mesoscale Convective Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)he apparent heat source Q1 and the apparent moisture sink Q2 are crucial parameters for precipitating systems studies because they allow for the evaluation of their contribution in water and energy transport and infer some ... -
Quality-Controlled Upper-Air Sounding Dataset for TiMREX/SoWMEX: Development and Corrections
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)During the Terrain-Influenced Monsoon Rainfall Experiment (TiMREX), which coincided with Taiwan?s Southwesterly Monsoon Experiment?2008 (SoWMEX-08), the upper-air sounding network over the Taiwan region was enhanced by ...
