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...

Warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies have been observed in the subtropical North Pacific around Hawaii recent decade, appearing from 2013. We examined formation mechanisms of warm SST terms relative contribution atmospheric forcing and oceanic dynamics, using latest reanalysis products ECMWF (ERA5 for atmosphere ORAS5 ocean). Results mixed layer budget diagnosis target area (10–20°N 180...

A new methodology for deriving monthly averages of surface specific humidity (Qa) and air temperature (Ta) is described. Two main aspects characterize the new approach. First, remotely sensed parameters, total precipitable water (W), and sea surface temperature (SST) are used to derive Qa and Ta. Second, artificial neural networks (ANN) are employed to find transfer functions relating the input...

Sea surface temperature (SST) data are often provided as gridded products, typically at resolutions of order 0.05◦ from satellite observations to reduce data volume at the request of data users and facilitate comparison against other products or models. Sampling uncertainty is introduced in gridded products where the full surface area of the ocean within a grid cell cannot be fully observed bec...

In part 1 of our review on somatostatin (SST) receptor biology in neuroendocrine tumours, the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) as a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), and the anti-tumour effects of SST and SSTR post-signalling pathways, were reviewed. To recapitulate, SST is a peptide hormone which acts mainly as an inhibitor in many endocrine systems. SST has five receptor subtypes (SSTR1–5) with ...

The primary measure of the quality of sea surface temperature (SST) fields obtained from satellite-borne infrared sensors has been the bias and variance of matchups with co-located in-situ values. Because such matchups tend to be widely separated, these bias and variance estimates are not necessarily a good measure of small scale (several pixels) gradients in these fields because one of the pri...

Viterbi decoders employed in digital wireless communications are complex and dissipate large amount of power. In this paper, we investigate power dissipation of Radix-4 Viterbi decoder and SST (Scarce State Transition) Radix-4 Viterbi decoder with changing the constraint length K (namely, K=3, 4). We presents a low power, high-rate Viterbi decoder using SST scheme and Radix-4 trellis. The SST m...
