Medium- to Long-Term Forecasts of Sea Surface Height Anomalies using a Spatiotemporal Empirical Orthogonal Function Method
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A spatiotemporal empirical orthogonal function (STEOF) forecast method is proposed and used in medium- to long-term sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) forecast. This method embeds temporal information in empirical orthogonal ... -
The complementary value of XBT and Argo observations to monitor ocean boundary currents and meridional heat and volume transports: A case study in the Atlantic Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This work assesses the value of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and Argo profiling float observations to monitor the Atlantic Ocean boundary current systems (BCS), meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and meridional ... -
Deep Caller for Ocean Acoustic Releases
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)We relate about the custom-made modification of a Benthos deep-ocean acoustic release into a “deep caller,” an acoustic transducer for calling and releasing ocean acoustic transponding releases that cannot be reached from ... -
Assessment of sampling sufficiency for low-cost satellite missions: Application to PREFIRE
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The Polar Radiant Energy in the Far Infrared Experiment (PREFIRE) mission will, for the first time, systematically document the far-infrared (15-54 µm) spectral region from space. The environmental sampling characteristics ... -
A pressure-tight sampler with flexible titanium bag for deep-sea hydrothermal fluid samples
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This paper details the development and application of a novel pressure-tight sampler with a metal seal capable of acquiring high-purity fluid samples from deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The sampler has a titanium diaphragm ... -
Evaluating the leeway coefficient of ocean drifters using operational marine environmental prediction systems
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The water following characteristics of six different drifter types are investigated using two different operational marine environmental prediction systems: one produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and ... -
Performance Evaluation of a Smart Mobile Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor for Characterizing Intracity Thermal Environment
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Heat stress caused by high air temperature and high humidity is a serious health concern for urban residents. Mobile measurement of these two parameters can complement weather station observations because of its ability ... -
Columnar Vertical Profile (CVP) Methodology for Validating Polarimetric Radar Retrievals in Ice Using In Situ Aircraft Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A novel way to process polarimetric radar data collected via plan position indicator (PPI) scans and display those data in a time–height format is introduced. The columnar vertical profile (CVP) methodology uses radar data ... -
Evaluation of a New Carbon Dioxide System for Autonomous Surface Vehicles
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Current carbon measurement strategies leave spatiotemporal gaps that hinder the scientific understanding of the oceanic carbon biogeochemical cycle. Data products and models are subject to bias because they rely on data ... -
Weather Hazard Risk Quantification for sUAS Safety Risk Management
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)As the number of applications for small unmanned (i.e., remotely operated) aircraft systems (sUAS) continues to grow, comprehensive safety risk assessment studies are required to ensure their safe integration into the ... -
Adjoint-Derived Impact of Assimilated Observations on Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasts of Hurricane Joaquin (2015) and Hurricane Matthew (2016)
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The adjoint-derived observation impact method is used as a diagnostic to derive the impact of assimilated observations on a metric representing the forecast intensity of a tropical cyclone (TC). Storm-centered composites ... -
The RELAMPAGO Lightning Mapping Array: Overview and Initial Comparison with the Geostationary Lightning Mapper
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)During November 2018–April 2019, an 11-station very high frequency (VHF) Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) was deployed to Córdoba Province, Argentina. The purpose of the LMA was validation of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper ... -
A Multiple Linear Regression Algorithm for Sea Surface Temperature Retrieval by One-Dimensional Synthetic Aperture Microwave Radiometry
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)One-dimensional synthetic aperture microwave radiometer (1D-SAMR) can provide remote sensing images at a higher spatial resolution than those from traditional real aperture microwave radiometers. As 1D-SAMR operates at ... -
An Adaptive Optimal Interpolation Based on Analog Forecasting: Application to SSH in the Gulf of Mexico
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Because of the irregular sampling pattern of raw altimeter data, many oceanographic applications rely on information from sea surface height (SSH) products gridded on regular grids where gaps have been filled with ... -
Evaluating Radiometric Responsivity Degradations of TANSO-FTS/GOSAT Using Principal Component Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The short-wavelength infrared bands of the Thermal and Near-Infrared Sensor for Carbon Observation (TANSO)–Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) instrument on board the Greenhouse Gas Observing Satellite (GOSAT) have degraded, ... -
Inter-Pulse Frequency Diversity System for Second Trip Suppression and Retrieval in a Weather Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A new inter-pulse frequency-diverse technique is introduced for weather radar second-trip suppression and retrieval. Inter-pulse coding is widely used for second trip suppression or cross-polarization isolation. Here, a ... -
Automatic Classification of Biological Targets in a Tidal Channel Using a Multibeam Sonar
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Multibeam sonars are widely used for environmental monitoring of fauna at marine renewable energy sites. However, they can rapidly accrue vast volumes of data, which poses a challenge for data processing. Here, using data ... -
