Download or read book Atmospheric Water Vapor written by Adarsh Deepak and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric Water Vapor contains the technical proceedings of the International Workshop on Atmospheric Water Vapor held in Vail, Colorado, on September 11-13, 1979. The papers assess the state-of-the-art in measurement, modeling, and application of atmospheric water vapor properties and highlight important problems that require further effort in order to better understand the atmosphere itself as well as the electromagnetic propagation through the atmosphere. Comprised of 39 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the optics and spectroscopy of water vapor. Some actual spectra showing the problems specific to the water molecule are described, along with the method used to calculate precise vibration-rotation energy levels and wave functions. Atmospheric infrared transmission measurements in maritime locations are also presented. Subsequent sections explore microwave and millimeter wave phenomena; geoastrophysical applications; and in situ measurements, remote sensing, and meteorology of water vapor. The final chapters deal with the microphysics and atmospheric chemistry of water vapor. This monograph will be of interest to scientists from universities, government agencies, research laboratories, and industry.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Several Models for Describing the Atmospheric Water Vapor Profile Above the 40 C Temperature Level written by Laurence D. Mendenhall and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional meteorological radiosonde humidity data are not reliable above the -40 C temperature level. An evaluation of several models used to describe the water-vapor profile above the -40 C temperature level, using frost-point data obtained from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), revealed that a simple model performed as well as more complex models to calculate the precipitable water. This model incorporates estimates of the frost-point temperature at the tropopause calculated with a regression equation, a hygropause fixed at 1 km above the tropopause, and an interpolated value of the mixing ratio. The error in precipitable water and in the transmissivity in the 2.95 micrometer band served as the principal means for judging the performance of the models. (Author).
Download or read book Air Mass Computer Program for Atmospheric Transmittance radiance Calculation written by William O. Gallery and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calculations of atmospheric transmittance and radiance require the knowledge of the integrated amounts of the absorbing gases along the path. This report describes the calculation of the integrated amounts ('air mass' or 'column density') for various infrared absorbing gases for an arbitrary slant path through the atmosphere, including the effects of both curvature and refraction, and presents a Fortran program. FSCATM, to perform the calculation. Among the features of FSCATM are: 1. It calculates the layer-by-layer integrated absorber amounts and density-weighted pressure and temperature for an arbitrary slant path through the atmosphere. 2. It assumes a spherically symmetric atmospheric with exponential profiles of density and refractivity between layer boundaries. 3. It allows a variety of options for specifying the slant path. 4. It includes six representative atmospheric profiles of pressure and temperature, and of density for the gases H2O, CO2, O3, N2O, CO, CH3, and O2 and has provision for user-supplied profiles of up to 20 gases. 5. The output layering may either be generated internally or supplied by the user. 6. It portable to 32 bit word computers in single precision and compatible with both ANSI Standard FORTRAN 66 and 77. 7. It is modular and easily modified to suit the users' particular needs. A discussion of atmospheric profile data and a survey of the literature are included in appendices.
Download or read book An Outline for the RTNEPH Infrared Atmospheric Water Vapor Attenuation Study written by Robert Paul D'Entremont and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real-Time Nephanalysis (RTNE PH) generates real-time global analysis of cloud extent, base, height, and type. The RTNE PH makes extensive use of satellite data that are measured in the 10-12 micron infrared (IR) window for thermal mapping of clouds and the earth's surface both day and night. Water vapor absorption effects are significant in such data, especially for high viewing angles and tropical atmospheres where water vapor concentrations are generally high. Water vapor attenuates the emitted ground radiance, reducing its magnitude and with it the apparent temperature of the surface being viewed. Currently, the RTNEPH takes into account such attenuation losses using lookup tables that are functions of viewing geometry, time of day, type of background, and the like. However, these corrections have limited value and leave room for significant improvement. This report outlines and presents two new techniques that are expected to enhance the attenuation correction capabilities of the RTNEPH, multivariate polynomial regression (the Weinreb technique) and the correlated K method.
Download or read book Calculation of atmospheric radiances and brightness temperatures in infrared window channels of satellite radiometers written by Michael P. Weinreb and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We describe a method of simulating measurements of atmospheric radiances and brightness temperatures in wide-bank window channels (at 11 and 3.7 [micro]m) of satellite radiometers. As input the simulation takes vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and water-vapor mixing ratio, as well as the spectral response functions of the window channels. It models the atmospheric transmittances and integrates the equation of radiative transfer. We demonstrate the use of the method with applications to the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer on the TIROS-N satellite."--p.1.

Download or read book Profiling of Atmospheric Water Vapor with Mir and Lase written by J. R. Wang and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the first and the only simultaneous measurements of water vapor by MIR (Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer) and LASE (Lidar Atmospheric Sounding Experiment) on board the same ER-2 aircraft. Water vapor is one of the most important constituents in the Earth's atmosphere, as its spatial and temporal variations affect a wide spectrum of meteorological phenomena ranging from the formation of clouds to the development of severe storms. Its concentration, as measured in terms of relative humidity, determines the extinction coefficient of atmospheric aerosol particles and therefore visibility. These considerations point to the need for effective and frequent measurements of the atmospheric water vapor. The MIR and LASE instruments provide measurements of water vapor profiles with two markedly different techniques. LASE can give water vapor profiles with excellent vertical resolution under clear condition, while MIR can retrieve water vapor profiles with a crude vertical resolution even under a moderate cloud cover. Additionally, millimeter-wave measurements are relatively simple and provide better spatial coverage.
Download or read book Comparison of spectroscopic and radiometric measurements of upper atmosphere water vapor written by Ira G. Nolt and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compares simultaneous spectroscopic and radiometric measurements of atmospheric water vapor above aircraft flight levels and determines the water vapor overburden. The measurements taken during 15 flights indicate that (1) both techniques give the same water vapor overburden to within 1 micrometer of precipitable water vapor, and (2) the median water vapor overburden is 6.5 micrometers precipitable water vapor at 41,000 ft (approx 180 mbar pressure) in the mid-latitude western United States during the summer/fall season, with a range from 4 to 11 micrometers.
