Application of Optical Measure Theory to Atmospheric Temperature Sounding from TOVS (TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) Radiances (original) (raw)

1989

Abstract

: We have demonstrated robust algorithms for generating fits in Optical Measure Theory (OMT) to radiance data from the TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS). These algorithms generated physically meaningful fits on 100% of a test set of 45 TOVS radiance scans, and were successful both on short wavelength (667/cm) and on long wavelength (2250/cm) TOVS data. The resulting OMT temperature profiles exhibit meteorological characteristics and appear to be suitable for determination of atmospheric structure parameters characterizing the large-scale vertical temperature of the atmosphere, and also suitable for generation of input data for numerical weather prediction codes. Keywords: Optical data, Atmospheric sounding, Meteorological satellites, Remote sensing, Atmospheric temperature profiles.
