Some Relationships between Synoptic Variables and Satellite Radiation Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various synoptic variables are related to satellite radiation data. It is shown that: (1) Vertical motion is related jointly to window radiation and water vapor radiation. (2) Surface relative humidity can be estimated from window radiation and cloud brightness. (3) Ceilings can be estimated from window radiation and cloud brightness.

Analysis of temporal and spatial correlation between precipitable water vapor retrievals from AIRS satellite sensor and 29 synoptic station measurements in Iran
Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) is one of the most important quantities in meteorology and climate studies. PWV in Earth's atmosphere can be measured by Sun-photometer, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), and radiosonde from surface, atmosphere and space-based systems, respectively. In this paper, we use PWV measured by Sun-photometer located in Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Scien...
متن کاملRelationships between Meteorological Drought and Vegetation Degradation Using Satellite and Climatic Data in a Semi-Arid Environment in Markazi Province, Iran
The assessment of relationships between satellite-derived vegetation indices and meteorological drought improves our understanding of how these indices respond to climatic changes. The combination of climate data and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) product of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of d...
متن کاملObserved and modeled relationships among Arctic climate variables
[1] The complex interactions among climate variables in the Arctic have important implications for potential climate change, both globally and locally. Because the Arctic is a data-sparse region and because global climate models (GCMs) often represent Arctic climate variables poorly, significant uncertainties remain in our understanding of these processes. In addition to the traditional approac...

Soil temperature is one of the important variables in hydrology, agriculture, meteorology and climatology studies. Owing to the fact that soil temperature is only measured at synoptic stations, reconstruction of this variable in other places is of great importance for many relevant agricultural surveys. Using 10-year (1996-2005) daily meteorological observations, including: air temperature, glo...
متن کاملRelationships between Tropospheric Water Vapor and Surface Temperature as Observed by Radiosondes
Using radiosonde data from 50 stations for 19731990, we quantify relationships between surface air temperature (Ts) and precipitable water vapor (W) for different time scales. Monthly _mean observations are fairly well described b 7an equation of the form In W = A + B Ts, but the coefficients _4 and B depend on the Ts range considered. At high T•, the relationship is poor. This relationship and...
