Aug 01, 2009; ... To encourage shorter, more focused, and timely publication in its scholarly journals (excepting the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society and Earth Interactions), the American Meteorological Society (AMS) will introduce an expedited editorial/production process for shorter articles ...
The Influences of TOVS Radiance Assimilation on Temperature and Moisture Tendencies in JRA-25 and ERA-40
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT A Japanese long-term reanalysis (JRA-25) was completed in 2006 utilizing the comprehensive set of observations from the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40). JRA-25 and ERA-40 adopted the same type of assimilation systems: 3DVAR with direct use of satellite sounding radiances ....
Validating the Validation: The Influence of Liquid Water Distribution in Clouds on the Intercomparison of Satellite and Surface Observations
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT The intercomparison of LWP retrievals from observations by a geostationary satellite imager [Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on board Meteosat Second Generation (MSG)] and a ground-based microwave (MW) radiometer is examined in the context of the ...
Acoustic Tomography for Scalar and Vector Fields: Theory and Application to Temperature and Wind Estimation
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT Acoustic tomography is a type of inverse problem. The idea of estimating physical quantities that influence sound propagation by measuring the parameters of propagation has proven to be successful in many practical domains, including temperature and wind estimation in the ...
Construction of the RSS V3.2 Lower-Tropospheric Temperature Dataset from the MSU and AMSU Microwave Sounders
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT Measurements made by microwave sounding instruments provide a multidecadal record of atmospheric temperature in several thick atmospheric layers. Satellite measurements began in late 1978 with the launch of the first Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) and have continued to the ...
