METEOROLOGICAL NOTES

Autobiographical notes

I was born in Zagreb (Croatia) on October 26, 1936. My parents were Regina (née Pavić) (April17, 1916, Zagreb–March 9, 1992, Zagreb) and Cvjetko Trinajstić (September 9, 1913, Volosko–October 29, 1998, Richmond, Australia).

Meteorological Observations

iri the subject in other places would do so also. Jessore, as the reputed birthplace of cholera, and a place almost proverbially of bad repute in a sanitary sense, would, I thought, afford an excellent opportunity of studying meteorological conditions with special reference to the causation of disease, and constitute, even more than Calcutta, a type of the climate of the delta of the Ganges.

Meteorological Extremes

Compression of Spectral Meteorological

Data compression is essential to current low-earth-orbit spectral sensors with global coverage, e.g. meteorological sensors. Such sensors routinely produce in excess of 30 Gb of data per orbit ( over 4 Mb/s for about 110 min. ) while typically limited to less than 10 Gb of downlink capacity per orbit ( 15 minutes at 10 Mb/s ). Astro-Space Division develops spaceborne compression systems for com...

Danish Meteorological Institute

The present report describes the determination of a set of monthly tiepoints for use in sea ice retrieval by passive microwave radiometry. From archived DMSP F-13 SSM/I data from 1996 and 1997 as well as surface temperatures from the NCEP reanalysis, emissivities are computed and analysed on a 250x250 km grid. The results are sets of monthly tiepoints for First Year ice and Open Water extracted...
