Location and dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front from satellite sea surface temperature data
The location of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) was mapped over a 7-year period (1987–1993) within images of satellite-derived sea surface temperature. The mean path of the PF is strongly steered by the topographic features of the Southern Ocean. The topography places vorticity constraints on the dynamics of the PF that strongly affect spatial and temporal variability. Over the deep ocean basins...
متن کاملAntarctic atmospheric temperature trend patterns from satellite observations
[1] Tropospheric temperatures in the Antarctic are retrieved by linearly combining satellite-borne Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channels 2 and 4 observations. We show good agreement between satellite-inferred temperature trends and radiosonde observations. It is illustrated that the Antarctic troposphere has cooled in the summer and fall seasons since 1979, in agreement with Thompson and Solom...
متن کاملQuality Control of Radar Data to Improve Mesocyclone Detection
Real-time severe weather algorithms that are used to identify various storm attributes can be adversely affected by the presence of meteorological and non-meteorological contaminants such as anomalous propagation (AP), ground clutter (GC), clear-air return or biological scatters in the radar reflectivity data. We examine the Quality Control Neural Network, a new algorithm which classifies preci...
متن کاملDEM generation from satellite data
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are required for several tasks like generation of orthoimages, flood planning, erosion control, agriculture, generation of contour lines, visibility check, 3D-views and others. Mainly in developed countries DEMs are available, but not in any case like required. DEMs can be generated by traditional photogrammetry based on aerial photos if they are available and no...
متن کاملEvidence from Satellite and Socioeconomic Data
This paper analyzes the determinants of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. From a model of optimal land use, it derives and then estimates a deforestation equation on county-level data for the period 1978 to 1988. The data include a deforestation measure from satellite images, which is a great advance in that it allows improved within-country analysis. Evidence exists that: increased road d...
