A new method of deriving high-resolution topof-atmosphere spectral radiances in 10 181 bands, over the whole outgoing long-wave spectrum of the Earth, is presented. Correlations between different channels measured by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interfermeter (IASI) on the MetOp-A (Meteorological Operation) satellite and unobserved wavenumbers are used to estimate far infrared (FIR) radian...

POLDER is a CNES instrument on board NASDA’s ADEOS polar orbiting satellite, which was successfully launched in August 1996. On October 30, 1996, POLDER entered its nominal acquisition phase and worked perfectly until ADEOS’s early end of service on June 30, 1997. POLDER is a multispectral imaging radiometer/polarimeter designed to collect global and repetitive observations of the solar radiati...

Retrievals of the isotopic composition of water vapor from the Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) have unique value in constraining moist processes in climate models. Accurate comparison between simulated and retrieved values requires that model profiles that would be poorly retrieved are excluded, and that an instrument operator be applied to the remaining profiles. Typically, this ...

words will be slowed relative to concrete words, on average. Without additional research and/or a reanalysis of existing data, it is impossible to determine whether concreteness effects are localized at the lexical level, the semantic level, or both. 120

Introduction Conclusions References

in the developing countries, where introduction and subsequent adoption of improved technologies is too slow to counteract the adverse effects of varying environmental conditions, there are increasing demands for meteorological information by farmers who are seriously in need of weather forecast information for their prompt operational decisions. the purpose of this study was to determine the f...

We re-investigate the impact of isospin violation for extracting the s-wave ππ scattering phase shift difference δ 0 (M K) − δ 2 (M K) from K → ππ decays. Compared to our previous analysis in 2003, more precise experimental data and improved knowledge of low-energy constants are used. In addition, we employ a more robust data-driven method to obtain the phase shift difference δ 0
