Meteorological Concepts Affecting Lightning Formation
2018Lightning always has its origin in clouds whose tops are colder than freezing, and updrafts connect the lower portions of a thunderstorm with an altitude where clouds are colder than freezing. The freezing level during the warm months of the year in middle latitude and tropical regions is often between 4.2 and 5.2 km (14,000 and 17,000 feet) but can be

Meteorological Network Expansion Using Information Decay Concept
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 1986Abstract A generalized network design methodology was developed by using the basic entropy concept introduced by Shannon in communication engineering. In order to select potential sites for meteorological network expansion purposes, the meteorological variabilities were assessed by interpolating meteorological information at various gauged and ungauged

SAPHERALER: meteorological radars on stratospheric balloons concept
2021High-Altitude Platforms (HAP) could offer an interesting alternative to both ground- and space-borne instruments when neither configuration offers an optimal solution. Specifically, for Doppler radar measurement of meteorological targets, ground-based radars are incredibly useful but limited in their area of deployment and space-based instruments ...

Staring imager concept for a geostationary orbit meteorological satellite
SPIE Proceedings, 1998With reference to GOES-9 5-channel Imager and use of 5000-by-5000 pixels areal array CCD and 1000-by-1000 pixels IR FPA, a conceptual design of a staring optical remote sensor for the Geostationary Orbit Satellite has been carried out, and the characteristics that this sensor can reach is discussed and compared with the reference sensor, the results ...

Precipitation imager instrument concepts for future LEO meteorological missions
2010 11th Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment, 2010The EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) is Europe's first polar orbiting operational meteorological satellite system consisting of Metop satellites. This joint EUMETSAT – European Space Agency (ESA) programme is the European contribution to the Initial Joint Polar-Orbiting Operational Satellite System (IJPS).

Emphasizing Environmental Concepts and Policies in an Introductory Meteorology Course
Journal of Geoscience Education, 1999In an attempt to make the material covered in introductory meteorology courses more relevant to students, the concepts and policies central to the Clean Air Act have been integrated into the class. To further facilitate this integration of the material and to encourage class participation, each student is required to become the class expert in one ...

Modern conception of meteorological protection of megalopolises using cloud seeding methods
Russian Meteorology and Hydrology, 2010The description is given of the modern conception and of technical means to carry out the weather modification activities in megalopolises using the active influencing methods. The main objective of these activities is the cloud dissipation and the decrease or cessation of precipitation on the territory under protection.

Design Concepts for An Advanced Airborne Meteorological Lidar (LASE II)
Topical Meeting on Laser and Optical Remote Sensing: Instrumentation and Techniques, 1987The use of differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instruments in high altitude aircraft platforms for mesoscale meteorological applications dictates requirements on the instrument systems which approximate or approach spacecraft platform requirements. Unattended automated operation, power, mass, volume, and data rate may be constrained to some extent ...

New conceptions on the meteorology of stratospheric fallout from nuclear weapon tests
Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie A, 1966Extensive meteorological measurements during IGY 1957/58 have yielded more detailed information about the climatology of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Taking into account these new data, measurements of the distribution of stratospheric fallout are discussed.
