Diurnal variations in middle atmospheric water vapor by ground-based microwave radiometry
General comment: • Review of Scheiben et al., Diurnal variations in middle atmospheric water vapor by ground-based microwave radiometry This paper shows comparisons between observed diurnal variations of water vapor, and variations seen in WACCM. The paper is generally well written, and the WACCM analysis is good. I do have some major concerns with the presentation of the comparisons, and, part...
متن کاملMicrowave remote sensing of stratospheric trace gases using digital Fast Fourier Transform spectrometers
The Institute of Applied Physics observes middle atmospheric trace gases, such as ozone and water vapour, by microwave radiometry. We report on the comparison of measurements using a novel digital Fast Fourier Transform and accousto optical spectrometers. First tests made on ground are presented as well as first experience about the use of such spectrometers under aircraft conditions.
متن کاملThe Study of Sea Level Pressure Patterns and Wind aloft Features over the Middle East and the Persian Gulf Area during Spring Transition
The meteorological conditions during the period of spring transition over the Middle East and the Persian Gulf and adjacent land area is investigated. Monthly and seasonal variations of large-scale atmospheric patterns and wind aloft features at different levels were drawn from data collected from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Researches. ...
متن کاملDevelopment of airborne 2-μm coherent lidar for CO2 and wind measurements
Wind profile is fundamental in many atmospheric phenomena. Most of the weather stations are on land, while the stations on the sea are very sparse. Present global three-dimensional wind data is not good enough to improve numerical weather prediction, the global climate model, and many other meteorological studies. Spaceborne infrared and visible imagers and microwave scatterometers can make win...
متن کاملAdvancement of Infrasound Propagation Calculation Techniques Using Mesoscale Atmospheric and Terrain Specifications
Numerical calculation of infrasound propagation paths is necessary to support accurate infrasound event identification, phase association, and source location. Predicting the details of infrasound propagation relies both on propagation models that capture the fundamental physical processes and on characterization of the propagation medium, namely the global atmosphere from the ground to altitud...
