Study on outgoing longwave radiation variations associated with strong earthquake
SPIE Proceedings, 2009In this paper, OLR (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) data monthly vorticity variations related to three earthquakes in Sichuan-Yunnan area have been analyzed so as to seek short-term (within three months) seismic anomalies. In order to obtain a reference field without any seismic information, OLR data of three years (2004, 2005, and 2006) without ...

Annual and Interannual Variations in Outgoing Longwave Radiation over the Tropics
Monthly Weather Review, 1981Abstract Four years of satellite observations of the outgoing longwave radiation have been used to study the distribution of cloudiness and rainfall over the tropics. Annual and interannual variations are described, partially with the help of an eigenvector analysis. Interannual variations in the outgoing longwave radiation are particularly interesting

Interannual variations of outgoing longwave radiation and Indian summer monsoon rainfall [PDF]
The outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) over tropical Asia has been analysed for a relationship with the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR: June-September) total using 19 years' data. The ISMR is found to be negatively associated with a simultaneous period of OLR variation over west-central India and the south Equatorial Indian Ocean, and positively ...

Simulation of the Diurnal Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation with an Atmospheric GCM
Monthly Weather Review, 1987Abstract Results are presented from an integration of the U.K. Meteorological Office 11-Layer Atmospheric General Circulation Model, with emphasis on the simulation of the diurnal cycle of the outgoing longwave radiation. The model reproduces many of the feature which have been noted from observational studies with satellite data.

The Climatology of the Itcz Based on Outgoing Longwave Radiation
1987The outgoing longwave radiation data derived from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites during the period from June 1974 to May 1984 have been used to construct the climatic charts of the ITCZ on the whole globe. The monthly variation of the ITCZ over different parts of the tropical continents and oceans is inspected separately.

Relationships between outgoing longwave radiation and diabatic heating in reanalyses
Climate Dynamics, 2016This study investigates relationships between daily variability in National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), as a proxy for deep convection, and the global diabatic heat budget derived from reanalysis data sets.

Observed Dependence of Outgoing Longwave Radiation on Sea Surface Temperature and Moisture
Journal of Climate, 1994Abstract The authors have empirically examined the dependence of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) on sea surface temperature (Ts), precipitable water (W), and height-mean relative humidity (RH¯). The OLR is obtained from 4 yr of data from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), while Ts, W, and RH¯ are obtained from objective analyses of ...

Interannual Variability and Climatic Noise in Satellite-Observed Outgoing Longwave Radiation
Monthly Weather Review, 1983Abstract The interannual variability (IAV) in monthly averaged outgoing infrared radiation (IR, from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites) is observed to be larger during summer than during winter over the north Pacific Ocean. A statistical analysis of the daily observations shows the daily variance to be similar during both seasons while the ...

In this paper we propose to use wavelet transformations as a data mining tool to detect seismic anomalies within data sequences of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). The distinguishing feature of our method is that we calculate the wavelet maxima curves that propagate from coarser to finer scales in the defined grids over time and then identify strong ...

Terrestrial Outgoing Longwave Radiation as measured with CLARA onboard NorSat-
The Earth Radiation Budget at the Top of the Atmosphere (ToA) governs the status of climate change on our planet. The ERB is the balance between the incoming Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) and total outgoing radiation at the ToA. If more energy is stored in the system the Earth Energy Imbalance is positive and the temperature in the system rises.Margit Haberreiter +2 more
