Book Description
Techniques to estimate reentry vehicle weather erosion parameters from satellite measurements are described. The techniques were developed over a period of three years. An empirical approach was followed with simultaneous measurements of clouds by aircraft and satellite sensors in a series of 41 cases covering a great range of cloud conditions. For each case the aircraft measurements of clouds supplemented by surface weather reports and radar pictures were converted to profiles of hydrometeor densities vs altitude. The erosion parameters predict the amount of material eroded from a nosetip and the range error of the reentry system due to erosion by ice and water particles in the atmosphere. The erosion parameters were related to infrared and visible satellite imagery data from NOAA ITOS satellites by means of non-linear equations. Equations were also developed to estimate total cloud mass and thickness from the same satellite data. Extensive applications and tests were made of the equations to estimate erosion parameters from satellite data.

Book Description
At last, a book that has what every atmospheric science and meteorology student should know about satellite meteorology: the orbits of satellites, the instruments they carry, the radiation they detect, and, most importantly, the fundamental atmospheric data that can be retrieved from their observations. Key Features * Of special interest are sections on: * Remote sensing of atmospheric temperature, trace gases, winds, cloud and aerosol data, precipitation, and radiation budget * Satellite image interpretation * Satellite orbits and navigation * Radiative transfer fundamentals
