Foreword to the Special Issue on the DMSP SSMIS
THE JOINT Air Force and Navy Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) has a rich heritage of flying new state-of-the art remote sensing instruments to provide timely and critical global weather intelligence to the military users and stable global radiometric observations to the earth science community. In particular, DMSP has had a string of successes flying passive microwave sensors wit...
متن کاملEnhancement of Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Surface Meteorological Observations During the Fall 1996 Water Vapor Intensive Observation Period
This work describes in situ moisture sensor comparisons performed in conjunction with the first Water Vapor (WV) Intensive Observation Period (IOP) conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Southern Great Plains (SGP) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site during September of 1996. Numerous remote sensing instruments (e.g., two Raman Lidar, two Atmospheric Emitted Radian...
متن کاملIntersensor calibration of DMSP SSM/I's: F-8 to F-14, 1987-1997
The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) operational special sensor microwave imager (SSM/I) marked its ten-year anniversary on the launch date of the first SSM/I (F-8), June 19, 1997. After F-8, the DMSP has launched five more SSM/I’s, F-10 (December 1990), F-11 (November 1991), F-12 (August 1994), F-13 (March 1995), and F-14 (April 1997), leaving the last SSM/I for a candidate laun...
متن کاملAtmospheric Water Vapor Measurements: Comparison of Microwave Radiometry and Lidar
The NASAJGSFC Crustal Dynamics Project microwave water vapor radiometer 003) is evaluated in terms of measurements of the integrated precipitable water vapor content of a particular column of the troposphere. The measurements were taken during the Atmospheric Moisture Intercomparison Study (ATMIS) held at Wallops Island, Virginia, during April 1989. Various water vapor sensing instruments were ...
متن کاملLamp mapping technique for independent determination of the water vapor mixing ratio calibration factor for a Raman lidar system.
We have investigated a technique that allows for the independent determination of the water vapor mixing ratio calibration factor for a Raman lidar system. This technique utilizes a procedure whereby a light source of known spectral characteristics is scanned across the aperture of the lidar system's telescope and the overall optical efficiency of the system is determined. Direct analysis of th...
