Satellites for Atmospheric Sciences 2
Author: Thierry PhulpinPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394264771
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
How can atmospheric variables such as temperature, wind, rain and ozone be measured by satellites? How are these measurements taken and what has been learned since the first measurements in the 1970s? What data are currently available and what data are expected in the future? The second volume of this encyclopedic book presents each field of application – meteorology, atmospheric composition and climate – with its main aims as well as the specific areas which can be addressed through the use of satellite remote sensing. This book presents the satellite products used for operational purposes as well as those that allow for the advancement of scientific knowledge. The instruments that are at their origin are described, as well as the processing, delivery times and the knowledge they provide. This book is completed by a glossary and appendices with a list of supporting instruments already in use.

The Use of Satellite Data to Map Excessive Cloud Mass
Author: James T. BuntingPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Clouds
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
A preliminary report on a method to estimate cloud ice and water content from archived satellite data is presented. The ultimate purpose is the identification and mapping of clouds with excessive mass to produce a climatology for the SAMSO ABRES program. The only suitable archive of satellite data consists of visible and infrared (IR) window measurements taken by scanning radiometers on board NOAA satellites. Starting in 1973, these measurements have been archived digitally each day in 2048 X 2048 arrays covering each hemisphere. In this report, the visible and IR window measurements are related to cloud mass by simultaneous observation of clouds from satellites and aircraft in 11 cases taken in 1974. Additional cases (including 24 in 1975) will be included in subsequent reports. The satellite data and archive are described. Results of the 1974 cases are given in the form of a simple scattergram relating cloud mass integrated through all altitudes to the joint measurements of IR temperature and visible luminance of the cloud. A preliminary application of the scattergram to a cyclonic storm on 23 and 24 July 1973 is made to identify areas of high cloud mass. (Author).
Forecasters' Guide to Tropical Meteorology
Author: Gary D. AtkinsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Atmospheric circulation
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
A practical manual for training and reference use of USAF weather forecasters who will work in the tropics, it covers basic facts of climatology, circulation, synoptic models, analysis and forecasting, application throughout the tropics. A broad survey is made of the literature, evaluated in light of the experience of the author. Physical factors controlling tropical circulations are briefly discussed. The data sources for synoptic purposes are reviewed. Climatology of pressure, winds, temperature, humidity, clouds, rainfall and disturbances is presented in a form specially suitable for forecasters. Analysis and for forecasting of disturbances, cyclones, severe weather, terminal weather, etc., are treated at length. Emphasis is placed on uses of climatology and satellite cloud photos. Over 230 figures adapted from the literature or prepared by the author serve to illustrate all the essential facts and principles discussed. A summary of the state of art and future outlook of tropical meteorology is included.
