Sentences with phrase «surface meteorological observations»

The process includes as its first necessary step the creation of a single consolidated international databank of the actual surface meteorological observations taken globally at monthly, daily and sub-daily resolutions.

We blended surface meteorological observations, remotely sensed (TRMM and NDVI) data, physiographic indices, and regression techniques to produce gridded maps of annual mean precipitation and temperature, as well as parameters for site - specific, daily weather generation for any location in Yemen.

«The envisaged process includes as its first necessary step the creation, for the first time, of a single comprehensive international databank of the actual surface meteorological observations taken globally at monthly, daily and sub-daily resolutions.

Not exact matches

To conduct its analysis, GISS uses publicly available data from 6,300 meteorological stations around the world; ship - and buoy - based observations of sea surface temperature; and Antarctic research station measurements.

Therefore, the best temperature observation for comparison with climate models probably falls between the meteorological station surface air analysis and the land — ocean temperature index.

To conduct its analysis, GISS uses publicly available data from three sources: weather data from more than a thousand meteorological stations around the world; satellite observations of sea surface temperature; and Antarctic research station measurements.

AMOC monitoring in the US is currently accomplished by a collection of in - situ field programs and large - scale observations including: ARGO, the Global Drifter Array, and collection of satellites returning ocean surface and meteorological information.

The temperature analysis produced at GISS is compiled from weather data from more than 1,000 meteorological stations around the world, satellite observations of sea - surface temperature, and Antarctic research station measurements.

Because the GISS analysis combines available sea surface temperature records with meteorological station measurements, we test alternative choices for the ocean data, showing that global temperature change is sensitive to estimated temperature change in polar regions where observations are limited.

The temperature analysis produced at GISS is compiled from weather data from more than 1,000 meteorological stations around the world, satellite observations of sea surface temperature and Antarctic research station measurements.

A 35 - year dust record established from Barbados surface dust and satellite observations from TOMS and the European geostationary meteorological satellite (Meteosat) show the importance of climate control and Sahel drought for interannual and decadal dust variability, with no overall trend yet documented (Chiapello et al., 2005).

Second, orbital instrumental observations provide only a recent record of land surface area temperature assessment, and the methods involved had to be calibrated against the prevailing standards of proximal thermometric determination, the widely - ranged system of meteorological thermometers in these United States providing (as others here have observed) a sort of «gold standard» in terms of technology, maintenance, and reliability as compared with similar broadly spaced systems of monitoring stations.

To any extent that the records of «satellite data» have been used to create assessments of land surface temperatures by way of adjustment to calibrate those observations against the information harvested from the meteorological thermometers which are the subjects of the SurfaceStations.org study, the error has crept into the assessments of the satellite data.

It is the first such period for which satellite observations of key variables including sea - surface temperature and sea - ice cover are available to support globally complete meteorological reanalyses such as ERA - Interim.

The temperature analysis conducted by NASA draws data from more than 1,000 meteorological stations worldwide, satellite observations of temperatures at the surface of the oceans, and measurements taken by Antarctic research stations.

The Army's Signal Corps weather observers are principally tasked to support field artillery operations, tactical field operations, and other meteorological taks which do not involve the operation and maintenance of fixed meteorological stations for synoptic surface observations.
