Sentences with phrase «improved spatial coverage»

Not exact matches

* In February, 2006 NCDC transitioned to the use of an improved Global Land and Ocean data set (Smith and Reynolds analysis (2005)-RRB- which incorporates new algorithms that better account for factors such as changes in spatial coverage and evolving observing methods.

Finally, better spatial / temporal coverage is a main prerequisite for improving current knowledge of global rainfall over the complete diurnal cycle.

VIIRS will also dramatically improve on MODIS and SeaWiFS spatial resolution (via a patented OLS - like17 detector aggregation technique) and global coverage (via a 40 percent wider imaging swath), while offering comparable absolute radiometry and sensitivity as well as the long - term stability required by the IORD to support CDRs.

Prior to 1988, the satellite data that Trenberth uses is not available, but it is known that long term records in radiosondes contain large inhomogeneities due to improving observing systems, increasing spatial resolution (but still very little ocean coverage), and the NCEP data in particular contains large model biases.
