Forecasting Convective Initiation by Monitoring the Evolution of Moving Cumulus in Daytime GOES Imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, the precursor signals of convective initiation were identified within sequences of 1-km-resolution visible (VIS) and 4-8-km infrared (IR) imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kristopher M. Bedka,Jason Brunner,Richard Dworak,Wayne F. Feltz,Jason A. Otkin,Thomas J. Greenwald +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new objective infrared-only satellite overshooting top (OT) detection method called infrared window (IRW)-texture is presented, which uses a combination of 1) infrared window channel brightness temperature (BT) gradients, 2) an NWP tropopause temperature forecast, and 3) OT size and BT criteria defined through analysis of 450 thunderstorm events within 1-km MODIS and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first in situ balloon measurements of aerosol backscatter in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) from Western China, which confirm high aerosol levels observed by CALIPSO since 2006, were presented.

TL;DR: In 2017, the dominant greenhouse gases released into Earth's atmosphere-carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide-reached new record highs. as mentioned in this paper The annual global average carbon dioxide concentration at Earth's surface for 2017 was 405.0 ± 0.1 ppm, 2.2 ppm greater than for 2016 and the highest in the modern atmospheric measurement record and in ice core records dating back as far as 800 000 years.
