On the Applicability of Ground-Based Microwave Radiometers for Urban Boundary Layer Research [PDF]
SensorsSignificant knowledge gaps exist in our understanding of urban boundary layer processes, particularly the hygrothermal state. The earth system community has successfully used microwave radiometers for several decades.

Performance of Forecasts of Hurricanes with and without Upper-Level Troughs over the Mid-Latitudes
Atmosphere, 2020 We investigated the accuracy of operational medium-range ensemble forecasts for 29 Atlantic hurricanes between 2007 and 2019. Upper-level troughs with strong wind promoted northward movement of hurricanes over the mid-latitudes. For hurricanes with upper-

Tropospheric Gravity Waves Increase the Likelihood of Double Tropopauses
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The tropopause region is crucial for the stratosphere‐troposphere exchange (STE) and acts as an indicator of climate change. Double tropopauses (DTs) act to increase the STE process but their driving mechanisms remain an open question.

Comprehensive Validation and Calibration of MODIS PWV over Mainland China
Atmosphere, 2022 Although ground-based precipitable water vapor (PWV) can be obtained with a high temporal resolution and spatial resolution of tens of kilometers in an urban area using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observation, it remains fairly sparse in ...
