Seawinds Improved Ocean Vector Wind Retrievals in Hurricanes
The most pressing issue for the Ku-band scatterometer is associated with the measurement of ocean surface winds in tropical cyclones in the presence of precipitation, which can significantly degrade the wind vector retrieval. Furthermore, at high wind speeds (> 32 m/s), the measurements suffer from radar backscatter saturation effects. Since the spatial resolution of satellite scatterometer and...
متن کاملHurricanes and child health: lessons from Cuba
Miranda DS, Choonara I. Arch Dis Child (2010). doi:10.1136/adc.2009.178145 1 of 2 HURRICANES A hurricane is a large rotating storm with a central area of very low pressure and strong winds greater than 74 mph (118 km/h). 1 The hurricane is graded 1–5 in relation to the strength of the winds, which can be greater than 155 mph (249 km/h, category 5). 2 Hurricanes arise from warm, moist air from ...
متن کاملReflectivity, Ice Scattering, and Lightning Characteristics of Hurricane Eyewalls and Rainbands. Part I: Quantitative Description
Covering December 1997 through December 1998, 261 overpasses of 45 hurricanes by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite are used to document the observed radar reflectivity values, passive microwave ice scattering magnitudes, and total lightning (cloud to ground plus in cloud). These parameters are interpreted as describing convective vigor or intensity, with greater reflectiv...
متن کاملEnhancing Oceanic Retrievals using Microwave Radiometry
The Central Florida Remote Sensing Laboratory, CFRSL, of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida is engaged in research to improve passive microwave remote sensing techniques for inferring oceanic and atmospheric geophysical parameters. This paper presents an overview of research that falls into three major areas, namely; airborne hurricane...
متن کاملMapping Ocean Winds by Broadband Acoustic Interferometry
Mapping the wind over vast ocean areas is a very important practical problem, especially at high winds. Satellite measurements using scattering of electromagnetic waves from the rough ocean surface are extremely useful; however, the cross section for this scattering saturates at high winds, when wind speed measurements are most valuable. On the other hand, the same mechanism that precludes use ...
