Book Description
A preprototype (brassboard model) Infrared Temperature Profile Radiometer (ITPR) was tested on the NASA Convair-990 aircraft expedition during June 1970. The objectives of the airborne ITPR experiment were to obtain data to test various techniques planned for deriving temperature soundings from spaceborne ITPR measurements and to specify the transmission characteristics of the atmosphere and clouds. This paper describes the instrument and shows various results obtained from the airborne measurements.

Satellite Infrared Soundings from NOAA Spacecraft
Author: L. M. McMillin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Artificial satellites in earth sciences
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Data are currently being received from a Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR) aboard the NOAA 2 spacecraft to produce operational atmospheric soundings of temperature and humidity on a global scale. This report describes the VTPR instrument, its calibration, the procedure to obtain "clear radiances" from cloud-contaminated radiance measurements, retrieval techniques used to obtain temperature and humidity profiles from "clear radiances", the quality checks performed on the profiles, and the various forms in which data are available to potential users.

Evaluation of a Balanced 300-mb Height Analysis as a Reference Level for Satellite-derived Soundings
Author: Albert Thomasell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Atmospheric pressure
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
A technique is developed and evaluated for using wind observations through application of the balance equation to improve the accuracy of objective height analysis in regions between height observations to provide reliable reference heights for satellite derived soundings. At upper levels (near 300 mb), numerous aircraft winds and satellite observed cloud vector winds are available for this purpose. In regions of moderate size, where the height analysis is determined primarily by winds and where the winds are deemed sufficiently dense and accurate, the technique produces interpolated height values with an estimated rms error of 30 m or less 80 to 85% of the time. Where these conditions are met it is concluded that the technique provides reliable reference heights.
