Sentences with phrase «precipitable water»

We also include an estimate from the NCAR LE of the impact of decadal variability in precipitable water in the atmosphere, which can impact GMSL.

To reduce the variability and bias introduced into the QME AERI / LBLRTM radiance residuals, the moisture profiles from each radiosonde are scaled such that its total precipitable water vapor matches that retrieved from the microwave radiometer (MWR), and these scaled profiles are used to drive the model.

The storm is passing over waters of 29 °C — approximately 0.5 °C above average in temperature — and is an unusually wet storm, with amounts of water vapor near the very high end of what is observed in tropical cyclones (precipitable water values up to 3.0 inches.)

A recent study of water vapor trends above North America based on radiosonde measurements from 1973 to 1993 finds increases in precipitable water over all regions except northern and eastern Canada, where it fell slightly.

But all were extreme events, both in terms of precipitation rates and of cost, of the sort which we expect to become much more frequent given both theory and observed metrics such as precipitable water in the atmosphere.

This area of vorticity served as a focusing mechanism for moisture lift and advection (movement) from the Gulf of Mexico consistently replenishing the available precipitable water.

States that in recent decades, the midtroposphere (defined here as 600 - 400 hPa) has been warming faster in the Arctic than in the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes; this warming has been accompanied by an increase in Arctic precipitable water

This image shows the total precipitable water forecast to be in the atmosphere at 11 a.m. on...

This is called precipitable water.

The Science on a Sphere project has available 3 animations created using the 20th Century V2 precipitable water data.

Surface low pressure map along with precipitable water normalized anomalies for Jan. 23, 2016, showing a corridor of moist air flowing around the East Coast blizzard.

The general decrease of precipitable water from equator to the poles is a reflection of the global distribution of temperature.

The most recent global estimate shows an increase in precipitable water during the period 1973 - 1990, with the largest trends in the tropics, where increases as large as 13 % per decade were found.

A good example is in «The effect of radiosonde instrument changes on climate trends of global atmospheric precipitable water», by Steven R. Schroeder, presented in the 18th conference on climate this year.

Looking at the global average change in precipitable water doesn't really tell you much.

There's no way you can have 2.61 cm precipitable water vapor at a surface temperature of 288.9 K. Most of that water is in the tropical atmosphere.

Precipitable water over a colder ocean is nowhere as great over sea water 10 degrees warmer.

The mean distribution of precipitable water, or total atmospheric water vapor above the Earth's surface, is shown in Figure 2.

Here I have the Earth Null School site showing total precipitable water in the atmosphere.

(a) Linear trends in precipitable water (total column water vapour) over the period 1988 to 2004 (% per decade) and (b) the monthly time series of anomalies, relative to the period shown, over the global ocean with linear trend.

By several meteorological measures, the airmass associated with this storm is pretty extraordinary: the amount of atmospheric water vapor (precipitable water) expected to be present near San Francisco on Saturday morning may be close to the all - time record value for any time of year.

Precipitable water - The total amount of atmospheric water vapor in a vertical column of unit cross-sectional area.

Note 1 — The total amount of water vapor, TPW (total precipitable water), is obviously something we want to know, but we don't have enough information if we don't know the distribution of this water vapor with height.

These two channels are sensitive to the presence of liquid water and precipitable water vapor.

Moreover, the amount of water in the atmosphere, also known as the precipitable water value, or PWAT, will be 1.50 to 1.75 inches.

The mean distribution of precipitable water, or total atmospheric water vapor above the Earth's surface, for 1992.

As expected, amounts of precipitable water are greatest over warm, equatorial regions and decrease more or less continuously with increasing latitude down to very low values over the cold, polar regions.

Then there's the precipitable water problem.

The variables I am interested in are SST, surface air temperature, precipitable water, precipitation rate, and Outbound Longwave Radiation (OLR).
