Atmospheric aerosol, gases, and meteorological parameters measured during the LAPSE-RATE campaign by the Finnish Meteorological Institute and Kansas State University

Danish Meteorological Institute

The present report describes the determination of a set of monthly tiepoints for use in sea ice retrieval by passive microwave radiometry. From archived DMSP F-13 SSM/I data from 1996 and 1997 as well as surface temperatures from the NCEP reanalysis, emissivities are computed and analysed on a 250x250 km grid. The results are sets of monthly tiepoints for First Year ice and Open Water extracted...

Acquiring Atmospheric Meteorological Data

The main sources of meteorological data at high altitudes are radiosondes and Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) data [1]. Mode-select (Mode-S) radars are capable of getting similar readings from aircraft as AMDAR; however, this source of meteorological data has not been used systematically so far. In this article, we analyze the meteorological data obtained by means of Mode-S radars an...

FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE CONTRIBUTIONS No. 44 TEMPORAL AND REGIONAL PATTERNS OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPONENTS AFFECTING ACIDIFICATION IN FINLAND

Acid deposition is caused by the anthropogenic and natural emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The main sources of the anthropogenic emissions are fossil fuel consumption and industrial processes. In this study, the atmospheric compounds affecting the acidification in Finland have been investigated from different viewpoints. The geographical distribution, temporal trends and episo...
