Meteorological Satellite Literature Digest - 1967. Developments in Radiation Measurements.

Abstract

Contents: Precipitation probability and satellite radiation data; Some relationships between synoptic variables and satellite radiation data; A preliminary study on the possibility of estimating total atomospheric ozone from satellite measurements; Circulation features of the stratosphere derived from radiometric temperature measurements with the TIROS 7 satellite; Planetary-scale characteristics of monthly mean long-wave radiation and albedo and some year to year variations; Zonal and meridional analysis of 5-day averaged outgoing long-wave radiation data from TIROS 4 over the Pacific sector in relation to the northern hemisphere circulation; Reflection of sunlight to space and absorption by the earth and atmosphere over the United States during spring 1962; A quasi-global analysis of tropospheric water vapor content from TIROS 4 radiation data.
