NOAA satellite set for launch

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
The latest in a series of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) meteorological satellites is scheduled for launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., on December 1, 1984. High surface winds delayed the launch from the originally scheduled date of November 8.

Tropicalization of the Temperate Zone: Spatiotemporal Variability of Winter Warming and Declining Freeze Days Across the United States

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Unique characteristics of winter daily minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures and freeze days across the conterminous United States from 1952 to 2024 are examined. Results show spatial heterogeneity in Tmin/Tmax warming rates across the tropical‐temperate transition zone in the southeastern United States, and that the highest temperature on the

Monitoring the Amazon River plume from satellite observations

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Most of our knowledge about the Amazon River plume is limited from the field experiments or modeling due to various challenges for satellite remote sensing, i.e., constant cloud coverage, atmospheric correction, and difficulties to differentiate the ...

Using GOES-R ABI Full-Disk Reflectance as a Calibration Source for the GOES Imager Visible Channels

Remote Sensing, 2022
The availability of onboard calibration for solar reflectance channels on recently launched advanced geostationary imagers provides an opportunity to revisit the calibration of the visible channels on past geostationary imagers, which lacked onboard ...

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Improving GOCI ocean color data under high solar-zenith angle over open oceans using neural networks

GIScience & Remote Sensing
With hourly measurements available during daytime between local times of 09:00–16:00, ocean color data derived from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard the Korean Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological (COMS) satellite have been useful ...

Satellite monitoring of the sea surface temperature using the NOAA satellite data

Soviet Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1991
A method of obtaining the operative sea surface temperature (SST)t using satellite scanner observations in the spectral ranges 3.53–3.94 μm and 10.3–11.3 μm is realized. The method represents a combination of McClainet al.'s formula (1983) and expressions suggested by the authors which describe the universal angular structures of the radiation ...

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Mapping ocean surface algal blooms with SWIR-derived satellite remote sensing reflectance

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
This study exploits the potential of satellite remote sensing reflectance spectra (Rrs(λ)) for detecting ocean surface algal blooms. Three types of floating surface algae are examined: Sargassum, Ulva, and Trichodesmium.
