Potential of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) and AMSU-B measurements for atmospheric temperature and humidity profiling over land
[1] A neural network retrieval method has been applied to investigate AMSU-A/ AMSU-B atmospheric temperature and humidity profiling capabilities over land. The retrieval method benefits from a reliable estimate of the land emissivity and skin temperature as well as first guess information regarding the temperature-humidity profiles. It has been applied on a large geographic area (60 W–60 E, 60 ...
متن کاملRetrieval of temperature and moisture profiles from AMSU-A and AMSU-B measurements
The NOAA-15 weather satellite carries the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units-A and -B (AMSU-A, AMSU-B) which measure thermal emission from an atmospheric oxygen band, two water lines, and several window frequencies. An iterated minimum-variance algorithm retrieves profiles of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere from this data. Relative humidity is converted into absolute humidity with use...
متن کاملClassification of hydrometeors using microwave brightness temperature data from AMSU-B over Iran
The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) installed on the NOAA-15, 16, and 17 satellites, is the new generation of a series of microwave imagers/sounders that can sense atmospheric moisture and other hydrometeors through clouds. This paper demonstrates the potential of multi-frequency AMSU-B data for classifying different types of hydrometeors. Ten types of these hydrometers have been co...
متن کاملAMSU-B Observations of Mixed-Phase Clouds over Land
Measurements from passive microwave satellite instruments such as the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit B (AMSU-B) are sensitive to both liquid and ice cloud particles. Radiative transfer modeling is exploited to simulate the response of the AMSU-B instrument to mixed-phase clouds over land. The plane-parallel radiative transfer model employed for the study accounts for scattering and absorption...
متن کاملDetecting Tropical Cyclone Structural Change with the TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)
One of the most critical parameters to monitor within a tropical cyclone (TC) are temperature anomalies. The maintenance of the thermal structure gives important insight into a TC’s strength and maturity that allow forecasters to warn appropriately for intensity fluctuations. The conversion of a TC’s symmetric warm core into an extratropical cyclone’s asymmetric cold core, a process known as Ex...
