Download or read book Radiometric Techniques for Observing the Atmosphere from Aircraft written by William Lee Smith and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiometric observations have been made from aircraft with spacecraft prototype instruments to test satellite remote sensing techniques. At the same time these observations have been used to study the problem of remote sensing from aircraft because of its own particular value in providing data in the support of sub-synoptic scale meteorological experiments such as the forthcoming GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. This paper describes aircraft radiometric methods of obtaining clear column radiances, vertical temperature profiles, total precipitable water, and cloud heights and amounts. Questions regarding vertical resolution and accuracy specification as a function of aircraft altitudes are answered. Results obtained using observations made during June 1970 with prototype versions of the Nimbus-E ITPR aboard the NASA CV-990 are presented and discussed. It is concluded that multi-spectral radiometers aboard an aircraft can be effective meteorological observing tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A verification procedure is applied to determine the accuracy of the Satellite Infrared Spectrometer (SIRS) B temperature retrievals by measuring their usefulness in the context of the National Meteorological Center (Suitland, Md.) operations. Three pressure levels are considered. It is shown that temperatures derived from satellite data for application at 200 mb are definitely useful while at 500 and 300 mb, under certain cloud conditions, the SIRS temperatures are moderately useful.

Download or read book An Intercomparison of Meteorological Parameters Derived from Radiosonde and Satellite Vertical Temperature Cross Sections written by William Lee Smith and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertical cross-sections of temperature between 60°S and 50°N for Apr. 6, 1973, are derived from (a) radiosonde, (b) Nimbus-5 Infrared Temperature Profile Radiometer, Nimbus-E Microwave Spectrometer and Selective Chopper Radiometer, and (c) NOAA-2 Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR) data. Comparisons are made of the level temperatures and latitudinal temperature gradients, geopotential heights and the latitudinal gradients, and geostrophic winds inferred from the radiosonde and satellite cross-sections. The results of this limited case study indicate: 1. Temperature accuracies for the lower troposphere obtained with Nimbus-5 sounding data are superior to those achieved with the NOAA-2 VTPR data. 2. The agreement between latitudinal gradients of temperature derived from satellite data and radiosonde observations is much better than the agreement between level temperatures obtained from satellite and radiosonde observations. 3. The geostrophic wind distribution of jet streams derived from satellite data possesses more character and intensity than does the geostrophic wind distribution obtained from radiosonde data.

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.
