The GPS meteorology (GPS/MET) experiment, led by the Universities Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), consists of a GPS receiver aboard a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite which was launched on 3 April 1995. During a radio occultation the LEO satellite rises or sets relative to one of the 24 GPS satellites at the Earth's horizon. Thereby the atmospheric layers are successively sounded by...

MARCH 2005 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | O ver the past half century, Jim Angell has made pioneering contributions to meteorology, especially to our understanding of climate variability, stratospheric processes, and the ozone layer. On 4 November 2003, many colleagues and friends gathered at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Science Center in Silver Spring, Maryland...

The long-term goal is to extend our predictive skill for mesoscale meteorology and to use that meteorology to improve prediction for the transport of aerosols and gases. We recognize the need of the Navy to have predictions of mesoscale weather for operations, of tropospheric aerosol conditions for both operations and weapons systems, and of Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) conditions for ...

This paper addresses a topic of significant current research, namely quantifying the effect of aerosols on cloud properties. The authors note the importance of local meteorology in determining the properties of clouds and that as meteorological factors are also correlated to aerosol properties, this can obscure the influence of aerosols on cloud properties. To explore the role of meteorology an...
