Interpolation of surface radiative temperature measured from polar orbiting satellites to a diurnal cycle 1. Without clouds
The land surface skin temperature diurnal cycle (LSTD) is an important element of the climate system. This variable, however, cannot be directly obtained globally from polar orbiting satellites because such satellites only pass a given area twice per day and because their infrared channels cannot observe the surface when the sky is cloudy. To obtain the skin temperature diurnal cycle and fully ...
متن کاملInterpolation of surface radiative temperature measured from polar orbiting satellites to a diurnal cycle 2. Cloudy-pixel treatment
Global skin temperature is very important for the understanding of surface climate and for evaluating climate models. However, when the surface is obscured by clouds, this variable cannot be measured directly by using satellite thermal infrared channels. Methods for calculating skin temperature for a satellite cloudy pixel are important, yet little research on their relative merits has been don...
متن کاملCommunications by Means of Low Earth Orbiting Satellites
This tutorial paper describes the current development in the use of low earth orbiting satellites (LEOS) for global personal communications. The basic architectures and rationales for design choices are discussed. Representative TDMA and CDMA systems are outlined and a summary of the diierences between LEOS communications and terrestrial cellular is presented along with the prospects for CDMA b...
متن کاملTidal disruption of small satellites orbiting black holes
Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) with either a black hole or a neutron star show power spectra characterised by Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs). Twin peak high frequency QPOs are characterised by frequencies that are typical for matter orbiting within 10 rg from the compact object. We consider clumps of material orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole, that are deformed by tidal interaction. We p...
متن کاملRetrieval of cloud spherical albedo from top-of-atmosphere reflectance measurements performed at a single observation angle
The paper is aimed to the derivation of the simple analytical relationship between the cloud spherical albedo and the cloud reflection function in the visible. The relationship obtained can be used for the retrieval of the spherical albedo from backscattered solar light measurements performed by radiometers on geostationary and polar orbiting satellites. The example of the application of the te...
