Meteorological Observing Systems
ثبت نشده
چکیده
To consider the capabilities of observing technologies, systems and instrumentation, and to expose those capabilities to users of observational data To keep instrument developers and manufacturers aware of present and new observational requirements of all groups of observers and data users To encourage high standards of observational technique and data capture To ensure that its activities meet the needs of all observers from those operating basic instrumentation and 'amateur level' equipment, through to advanced technologies To organise around 3 meetings per year to discuss new technologies and techniques To liaise with other SIGs and organisations concerning meetings of mutual benefit To encourage publication of papers describing new developments in instrumentation To publicise its meetings and other activities in journals of the Society, the Group newsletter and other publications

The Outlook for U.s. Meteorological Research in a Commercializing World
on a roll. In its relatively short lifetime, it has transformed the way society thinks about weather and climate. At the beginning of the twentieth century, most people assumed that the assimilative capacity of the atmosphere was infi nite, climate was relatively constant, and most weather events were unpredictable. Today, thanks in large part to meteorological research, most educated people kn...
متن کاملImproved forecasts of extreme weather events by future space borne Doppler wind lidar
Introduction An important goal in operational weather forecasting is to reduce the number of forecast failures, in particular those with large socio economic impact. Forecast failures of high-impact weather are often due to lack of observations over data sparse areas, such as the southern hemisphere, Tropics and Northern hemisphere oceans, over a prolonged period prior to the extreme event. Int...

12.1.1 Definitions The following definitions from WMO (1992; 2003a) are relevant to upper air measurements using a radiosonde: Radiosonde: Instrument intended to be carried by a balloon through the atmosphere, equipped with devices to measure one or several meteorological variables (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.), and provided with a radio transmitter for sending this information to the...
متن کاملDecadal variations in atmospheric water vapor time series estimated using ground-based GNSS
Ground-based GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) have efficiently been used since the 1990s as a meteorological observing system. Recently scientists used GNSS time series of precipitable water vapor (PWV) for climate research. In this work, we use time series from GNSS, European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA-Interim) data, and meteorological measurements to e...
متن کاملVisualization of Multispectral and Multisource Data Using an Interactive Image Spreadsheet (iiss)
The next generation of remote sensing observing systems will routinely provide multispectral data from a very large number of sensors. For example, the Landsat-type instrument of the planned Earth observing system (Eos) satellite will be the HIghResolution Imaging Spectrometer (HIRIS). The HIRIS will have 192 channels, compared to seven on the current Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM). Similarly, th...
