▼

Digital weather radar data have been used with a simple pattern recognition technique to automatically generate precipitation forecasts in the zero to three hours range. Forecasts performed during a two year real time experiment are evaluated and compared with other basic procedures. The verification process has led to a preliminary "radar climatology" for the Montreal region in the form of maps showing areas of predominant growth or decay of precipitation patterns. The desirability to extend both the spatial and temporal scales of precipitation forecasts necessitated the incorporation of satellite data into the system. Thus, an algorithm yielding probability of rain from GOES visible and infrared imagery and simultaneous radar data is applied over an area the size of eastern Canada. Satellite data are mapped by means of a conic projection on a constant resolution Cartesian grid to facilitate overlay with synoptic charts. A pattern recognition technique is applied to 16 sub-areas of the entire map and it has proved successful in tracking the displacement of the probability of rain contours. The potential of the satellite data for hydrological purposes is also discussed.

Les données digitales de radar ont été utilisées avec un algorithme basé sur la théorie de concordance des configurations pour produire automatiquement des prévisions de précipitation à court terme allant jusqu'à trois heures. Les prévisions fournies au Bureau de Prévisions du Québec pendant l'expérience en temps réel qui a duré deux ans ont été évaluées et comparées avec d'autres méthodes de base. Le processus de vérification a conduit à l'établissement d’une carte climatologique radar pour la région de Montréal mettant en évidence les lieux characterisés par un surcroit de développement ou de dissipation d’orages.La nécessite d’étendre l'échelle temporelle et spatiale des prévisions a force l'incorporation des données de satellite dans le système de prévisions. Ainsi, les images digitales prises en rayonnement visible et infrarouge par satellite géostationnaire GOES en conjonction avec les données de radar ont permis de déduire la probabilité de pluie sur une et étendue comprenant la moitié est du Canada. Pour en faciliter la comparaison avec les cartes synoptiques, les données sont présentées sur une projection conique avec une résolution constante. La même technique de concordance des configurations appliquée dans chacune des 16 subdivisions de la carte, a démontré qu'il est possible de suivre les zones de probabilité de pluie. Le potentiel de ces données pour besoins hydrologiques est aussi examiné.

▼ O saldo de radiação à superfície é o termo mais importante na determinação das componentes do balanço de energia e uma melhor quantificação do saldo permitiria, por exemplo, um melhor dimensionamento da irrigação de culturas, minimizando desperdícios e mantendo o solo em uma faixa de umidade adequada às plantas. Medidas de saldo de radiação à superfície são geralmente realizadas de forma pontual e, portanto, não são suficientes para cobrir extensas regiões. Dessa forma, informações satelitais se tornam um atrativo tendo em vista a cobertura de toda a Terra com boa resolução espacial e razoável frequência temporal. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo estimar e analisar o comportamento diário das componentes do saldo de radiação à superfície comparando estimativas por satélite com medidas à superfície disponíveis. Para tal fim, foram utilizados informações dos satélites GOES-12, EOS e NOAA bem como os produtos derivados desses satélites (Modelo GL, perfis atmosféricos, albedo e emissividade da superfície). As componentes estimadas do saldo de radiação foram comparadas com medidas à superfície, quando disponíveis, das estações de Santa Rita do Passa Quatro-SP, Petrolina-PE, Brasília-DF, Manaus-AM e São Martinho da Serra-RS. A radiação solar incidente foi estimada através do modelo GL v. 1.2 e apresentou erro médio de 2,68 W m^-2 e desvio padrão médio de 20,47 W m^-2. Para a estimativa do balanço de onda curta (BOC) foi utilizado o produto MODIS de albedo da superfície e o balanço foi comparado com medidas à superfície nas estações de Petrolina e Santa Rita do Passa Quatro. BOC apresentou resultados satisfatórios com erros médios da ordem de 4 W m^-2 e desvio padrão médio de 3 W m^-2. A radiação de onda longa ascendente (OLA) foi avaliada a partir da temperatura e emissividade da superfície. Para a estimativa da temperatura da superfície foi utilizado um método monocanal que utiliza informações do canal 4 do GOES 12. A radiação de onda longa ascendente apresentou erros inferiores a 10% quando comparados com dados medidos e, portanto, valores aceitáveis. As principais fontes de erros do modelo são a água precipitável e o mascaramento de nuvens. Verificou-se que a temperatura necessária à estimativa da OLD corresponde a temperatura do primeiro nível de uma sondagem atmosférica. Os resultados das estimativas dessa componente foram satisfatórios e ainda indicaram erros de calibração dos pirgeômetro de algumas estações. O balanço de radiação apresenta uma relação linear com o balanço de onda curta. Da mesma forma, o balanço de onda longa também apresenta linearidade com o BOC, porém, de segunda ordem. Dessa forma, o BOL pode ser considerado uma correção na estimativa do saldo de radiação total. Porém, estimativas mais acuradas do balanço de onda longa são necessárias para se estimar com maior precisão o saldo de radiação. Verificou-se que em situações de cobertura de nuvens aproximadamente maior ou igual a duas horas, o balanço de radiação de onda longa tende a se anular e, dessa forma, o saldo de… Advisors/Committee Members: Regina Célia dos Santos Alvalá, Juan Carlos Ceballos, Gilberto Fernando Fisch, Simone Marilene Sievert da Costa Coelho, Leonardo de Faria Peres.

▼ The objective of this study was to use Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) visible and infrared radiance data to determine cloud characteristics, including cloud population, albedo, cloud top temperature and height, as well as the changes of cloud parameters with time. Verification of the satellite-derived results was achieved by comparison with the corresponding raingage network measurements and observations by radar. Four cases, 22, 24 and 27 June and 8 July 1977, have been chosen for this study. All four occurred during the operational period of the 1977 Texas HIPLEX (High Plains Cooperative Program) field season when visible and infrared images and digital radiance data, surface and rawinsonde data, precipitation analyses from the raingage network as well as PPI and RHI radar displays were available. In the first portion of this study, visible radiance data were used to determine cloud populations, percent cloud cover and cloud albedos, while cloud top temperatures were computed from the infrared data. Cloud top heights have been determined by using the cloud top temperature and comparing with rawinsonde data obtained from the nearest station. The second portion of the study compared the results derived from satellite data with raingage network measurements and radar observations in the Texas HIPLEX area. The analysis indicated that the information derived from satellite, radar and raingage data correlated closely on the four case study days. The precipitation analyses indicated that two of the four case study days had heavy rain but the others had little or none. Synoptic, subsynoptic, and small-scale features were investigated to determine the mechanisms of precipitation. PPI radar displays from a WSR-57 radar at Midland and both digital PPI and RHI data from a M-33 radar at Snyder were used in this investigation. On 22 June a squall line, a subsynoptic feature, and on 8 July a cold front, a synoptic feature, triggered the development of a line of convective clouds which produced the observed precipitation.

▼ The design of BOLTS (Broad Area Lightning Telescope Sensor) is presented. This sensor will provide full-time (day/night) coverage of the continental U.S. from a geosynchronous orbit. The average ground resolution will be 8 km and the system will be able to detect ≃ 10⁷ watt strokes during nighttime and ≃ 4 x 10⁷ watt strokes during daytime with a probability of detection of 0.9. We present the system's requirements and projected performance, together with the design rationale. Contrast enhancement is achieved using a narrow band interference filter deposited on a curved surface inside the F/2.5, 101.7 mm optical system. Deposition of the interference layers on the curved surface reduce the passband wandering caused by off-axis bundles. The focal plane constitutes an 800 x 800 element virtual phase CCD array with a multiple outputs option. The central 800 x 400 elements are used for imaging while the outer 2x (800 x 200) elements serve as buffer memory for one frame storage. An additional 2x (800 x 200) array serves for storing a second frame. Signal detection is achieved via a frame-to-frame subtraction algorithm that is hardware implemented immediately following the CCD arrays. An integration time of 5 msec is used, which stems from SNR optimization requirements and from the fact that lightning strokes occur randomly in time and space. The data obtained after frame-to-frame subtraction is subjected to a threshold test and the resulting positive events are digitized and stored in an on-board digital memory using 48 bits/event. Each record contains intensity information over a dynamic range of 4000, location information and time of occurrence information. A prototype instrument built to perform measurements from aboard a U-2 plane is described. The purpose of this instrument is to refine some of the lightning data used in defining the system's parameters. A short discussion about the changes required to expand the design to either a global coverage instrument or a high resolution, smaller field instrument is presented.

▼ Atmospheric water vapor and rainfall are crucial elements in the global water cycle. The spatial and temporal variations of total precipitable water (TPW) and rainfall rate (RR) between 60° N and 60° S are investigated. In addition, nine oceanic locations in different climate regions are further studied in order to clarify regional differences in a more detailed manner. The Blended Total Precipitable Water (bTPW) product from the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) provides the water vapor observations and the Climate Prediction Center morphing method (CMORPH) product is used for the rainfall rate. These six-hourly datasets were analyzed at 0.25°×0.25° resolution during the period between February 2006 and December 2008. The variations present in these quasi-global TPW and RR climatologies are found to be similar to the variations presented in previous studies. For instance, oceanic TPW maximizes around 7° N at 45 mm, the most land-falling rain occurs around 2° S, and the most oceanic rainfall occurs around 7° N. However, both datasets over the 35 month period indicate an occurrence of the double Intertropical Convergence Zone during the boreal spring that is not evident in the previous TPW studies presented. Over the study period, the quasi-global CMORPH mean daily RR is 2.63 mm day-1 and the quasi-global bTPW mean oceanic TPW is 24.94 mm. Regionally, the rainfall rate distributions were found to approximate exponential decay, with typically drier regions corresponding with faster decay rates. This pattern is also evident on a global scale. While one might expect an increased TPW to correspond with an increased RR, it was found that rainfall is possible at nearly any TPW value. On a global scale, higher TPW values are associated with higher probabilities of rainfall, although global patterns of moisture convergence and vertical motion are key factors in the production of this rainfall. The RR algorithms used to form the CMORPH product are less sensitive to stratiform light rain, which means that rainfall is likely underestimated in areas receiving mostly this type of rain, such as the subtropical eastern Pacific Ocean. The results demonstrate that the bTPW and CMORPH products produce observations consistent with past climatologies and that TPW on its own is not an accurate indicator of rainfall; other dynamical and thermodynamical effects must be considered.

▼ Cloud nowcasting (0-6 hour forecasts) is an important area of study for weather forecasting, solar energy estimation, and Department of Defense (DoD) applications. The DoD is developing data assimilation methods to predict cloud movement. However these systems require valuable time to run and are not always accurate. Because many military operations are of a time-sensitive nature, fast-processing cloud nowcasting techniques are required. Satellite imagery has shown that clouds move at varying speeds and in different directions, while some tend not to move at all. We test the hypothesis that clouds forced by complex terrain do not displace with the wind, but instead persist along the barrier on which they were formed. Thus, a combination of persistence and displacement techniques in regions of complex terrain are expected to yield a better forecast than either of them alone. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor aboard both the Terra and Aqua satellites allows for the same region of Earth to be sampled twice by each satellite in a roughly 2-4 hour timeframe. This allows a 2-4 hour cloud nowcast to be created and tested. Using the MODIS Cloud Mask algorithm at 5 km resolution (interpolated to 1 km) and wind data from local weather balloon soundings, a cloud climatology nowcast, a cloud persistence nowcast, a cloud 700mb wind nowcast, a cloud various wind speed nowcast, and a cloud terrain-influenced nowcast were developed from December 2008 through November 2009 over Utah and southwestern Wyoming. Persistence/displacement forecasts were also conducted based on the phase of the cloud, as determined by the MODIS Cloud Phase algorithm. A new forecast skill evaluation scheme was also introduced, designed to equally appreciate correct cloudy areas and correct clear areas. Contrary to our hypothesis, the persistence nowcasting method demonstrated the best skill, especially in the winter months, by as much as 10% critical success index (CSI) over the other methods. The Persistence Method, 700mb Method, and Various Winds Method performed similarly during the summer months (~65% CSI for all three). Use of cloud phase information revealed that ice cloud persistence, while displacing either liquid-water clouds or mixed-phase clouds yielded the highest CSI scores, but the resulting scores were still lower than the Persistence Method. We conclude that cloud analysis at high resolution over complex terrain in Utah, using no model wind or moisture data, cannot improve upon a persistence nowcast over Utah. However, because these basic nowcasting methods can be run and their skill evaluated in less than two minutes, educated decisions can be made nearly instantaneously.

▼ This thesis describes research and development work undertaken to produce a satellite based near-real time high resolution (6 to 24 km) surface solar exposure estimation system. Physical models of radiative transfer within the atmosphere have been developed to produce the estimates of exposure for the entire Australian continent from full resolution hourly visible Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) Stretched-Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (S-VISSR) data. This thesis describes the exposure estimation system, including details of the physical processes modelled. The accuracy of the exposure data is presented. The first high resolution climatology of exposure across Australia is also presented and discussed. Detailed charts of mean daily exposure for each month and annual mean daily exposure form part of the climatology, based on the period November 1990 to June 1994 inclusive. Annual and four-monthly charts are compared to the available Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) National Climate Centre (NCC) Solar Radiation Atlas (1975) charts based on cloud and sunshine records for the period 1968 to 1974 inclusive. Generally the agreement is good, with the satellite system providing greater spatial and temporal (all months) detail, some significant differences and higher accuracy. The satellite climatology shows that minimum exposure in the far north occurs in February due to the monsoon even though the sub-solar point is at a similar latitude. During the monsoon, the exposure minimum over Cape York is seen to shift from the east to the west side. Considerable detail of coastal and orographic exposure gradients about the east and southeast coasts is available. Other features seen for the first time are also presented. For exposure estimation, the model of Diak and Gautier (1983) has been developed further and carefully tuned for use with GMS-4 data (1990 to 1994). Extensive changes have been made to this model to use data from GMS-5, which replaced GMS- 4 in May 1995. GMS-5 has a sensor response extending from the visible to the near-infrared. The GMS-5 based model now runs operationally within the BoM, using total precipitable water estimates from the BoM regional numerical weather prediction (NWP) system, and real-time ozone estimates from the local readout of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites. The models perform best in clear-sky conditions, with the average deviation of spatially-averaged daily model estimates from surface-based point pyranometer data being less than 5% (less than 4% against available high quality pyranometer data). In cloudy conditions, the average percentage deviation is larger. Australia-wide estimates of the accuracy of satellite-based exposure estimates have been developed. Over most of the continent, typical cloud conditions lead to daily estimates being…

▼ The weather and climate of the Earth are driven by interactions of the longwave and shortwave radiation between the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Past studies have tried to derive the Earth radiative budget through the use of models and passive satellite sensors. These past efforts did not have information about the vertical distribution of cloud or aerosols within the atmosphere that significantly influence radiative transfer within the atmosphere. This problem was improved upon with the launch of CloudSat and CALIPSO in 2006. These satellites provide the information on the vertical distribution of clouds. From CloudSat, a fluxes and heating rates product was produced to study the radiative budget, but this was limited to some degree because of undetected clouds and aerosol that have non-negligible effects on the radiative balance. This study addresses these issues by combining CALIPSO and MODIS data with CloudSat to detect and obtain the properties of cloud and aerosol undetected by the CloudSat CPR. The combined data were used to create a cloud and aerosol mask that identified distributions of undetected cloud and aerosol globally and quantified their radiative effects both seasonally and annually. Low clouds were found to have the highest impacts of nearly -6 Wm-2. High clouds globally have little effect, trapping 1 Wm-2, with the majority of the impact in the tropics. Four case studies are presented to show how heating rates change in the vertical due low cloud, cirrus, precipitation, and aerosol. The cloud and aerosol mask was used to create seasonal global distributions of cloud radiative effect using all clouds detected by CloudSat and CALIPSO, and the direct effect of aerosols estimated at the TOA. Using fluxes at the top and bottom of the atmosphere global distributions of outgoing and incoming radiation are shown, and an annual radiation budget of the Earth is derived. Clouds globally are found to have a radiative forcing of -20 Wm-2 at the TOA. The radiative budget of the Earth is calculated in two ways; using normalized shortwave fluxes by the average solar daily insolation, and by changing the solar zenith angle to simulate the diurnal cycle. Finally, the product is validated by comparing the outgoing and surface fluxes with CERES and ISCPP flux products. Advisors/Committee Members: Stephens, Graeme L., 1952- (advisor), Heald, Colette L.

▼ Precipitation consists a governing parameter in a wide spectrum of human- related aspects. Either its lack or excess can pose major consequences and threaten both human lives and infrastructures. The uncertainty in its accurate monitoring and forecasting has tremendous implications in agriculture, transport, water resource management and green energy production.The main focus of precipitation uncertainty lies upon heavy precipitation events (HPEs) and flash-floods. Both of these events develop over small spatiotemporal scales, an attribute that renders their identification and predictability to particularly challenging tasks. This becomes especially evident over high mountainous terrain and complex terrain areas, where scant availability of in-situ observations is the default. The serious threat these phenomena pose for human lives along with corresponding damages that have repeatedly risen to billion dollar estimates, urge towards a better analysis and more thorough understanding of their nature, that will eventually lead to a more accurate monitoring and forecasting.Given that each individual source of information comes associated with its own list of strengths and limitations, a synergetic approach is often dictated. Satellite rainfall estimates are particularly useful in this context, due to their global coverage and near real-time availability. Observations from rain gauge networks and weather radar scans are usually assigned with the role of ground truth where available. Numerical weather predictions (NWP) have gradually become the epicenter of early warning systems, with recent advances in computational science partly curing the downsides of earlier ages. This improvement is partly attributed to the feasibility of atmospheric simulations at very fine grid scales, that deems important for capturing the initiation and evolution of flash-flood triggering storms. The advances in cloud microphysical schemes can additionally offer a valuable insight into the complex processes of these severe incidents.This thesis proposes a combination of the respective strengths of the individual datasets in order to improve precipitation estimates over mountainous areas. It provides evidence on the relative gain that can be expected from the adoption of very fine NWP model grids in HPE and flash-flood forecasting that stretch to sub-km scales. The relative impact of atmospheric model resolution on the hydrologic predictions is also examined. State-of-the-art NWP simulations are utilized towards the reduction of quantitative errors in satellite precipitation estimates and an insight on the nature of the detection limitations is provided. A novel adjustment technique is presented, where satellite rainfall estimates cater for the spatiotemporal evolution of each storm, whereas their rainfall magnitude is adjusted upon the NWP estimates through probability density function (PDF) matching. The study takes place in three mountainous areas of different characteristics, namely two mid-latitude (Italian Alps and US Rockies) and a…

▼ This thesis is about observations of clouds from satellite and ground based instruments. The aim is to reconstruct the three dimensional cloud distributions. This information is used both in climate research and operational meteorological applications. In climate research, cloud observations provide a reference to atmospheric models, which enables optimization of cloud parameterizations. For operational meteorologists clouds are symptoms of atmospheric conditions. Cloud observations therefore are helpful in understanding the current weather (nowcasting) and improve the estimate of how of the atmospheric conditions will evolve (forecasting). In order to obtain cloud field characteristics, analysis environments were developed for the interpretation of meteorological satellite measurements in terms of cloud properties. A large effort was put in the evaluation of the results with synoptic observations and measurements from two measurement campaigns. As a result this thesis comprises three major research topics: Meteosat analysis, AVHRR analysis and combined analysis of ground and satellite observations. <h3>Meteosat analysis</h3> A new cloud detection scheme was developed that includes the use of the surface temperature fields of a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model as a threshold value to distinguish cloudy and cloud free areas. It is shown that also for cloud free conditions, the equivalent black body temperature as measured from satellite is different from the model surface temperature. An innovative part of the scheme is the quantification of this temperature difference, which is used to improve the skill of the cloud detection method. The improvement of the detection efficiency was quantified over land and ocean for 1997 on a 3 hourly basis in a semi-operational setting. As the method optimizes the use of the infrared information it is relatively insensitive to changes of insolation conditions with time of day, location, or season. <h3>AVHRR analysis</h3> The NWP model surface temperatures are also used in the AVHRR analysis environment. For the interpretation of the 0.6μm channel reflectivities, extensive radiative transfer calculations were done with the Doubling-Adding KNMI (DAK) radiative transfer code. The results were put in Look-up tables (LUT). The LUTs are used to obtain the following cloud field properties: cloud cover fraction, cloud top temperature, optical thickness and liquid water path. In order to assess the quality, the retrieved properties were compared to measurements from two campaigns: the Tropospheric Budget Experiment, TEBEX, and the Clouds and Radiation intensive measurement campaigns, CLARA. The comparison shows that the retrieval algorithms yield results that agree with independent ground based measurements for the cases studied. <h3>Combined analysis of satellite and ground observations</h3> Combined analysis of satellite and ground based observations from the TEBEX and CLARA data sets yields information on the quality of the satellite retrieval, but also on… Advisors/Committee Members: A.A.M.

▼ Short-term prediction (nowcasting) of high-impact weather events can lead to significant improvement in warnings and advisories and is of great practical importance. Nowcasting using weather radar reflectivity data has been shown to be particularly useful. The Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) radar network provides high-resolution reflectivity data amenable to producing valuable nowcasts. The high-resolution nature of CASA data requires the use of an efficient nowcasting approach, which necessitated the development of the Dynamic Adaptive Radar Tracking of Storms (DARTS) and sinc kernel-based advection nowcasting methodology. This methodology was implemented operationally in the CASA Distributed Collaborative Adaptive Sensing (DCAS) system in a robust and efficient manner necessitated by the high-resolution nature of CASA data and distributed nature of the environment in which the nowcasting system operates. Nowcasts up to 10 min to support emergency manager decision-making and 1-5 min to steer the CASA radar nodes to better observe the advecting storm patterns for forecasters and researchers are currently provided by this system. Results of nowcasting performance during the 2009 CASA IP experiment are presented. Additionally, currently state-of-the-art scale-based filtering methods were adapted and evaluated for use in the CASA DCAS to provide a scale-based analysis of nowcasting. DARTS was also incorporated in the Weather Support to Deicing Decision Making system to provide more accurate and efficient snow water equivalent nowcasts for aircraft deicing decision support relative to the radar-based nowcasting method currently used in the operational system. Results of an evaluation using data collected from 2007-2008 by the Weather Service Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) located near Denver, Colorado, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research Marshall Test Site near Boulder, Colorado, are presented. DARTS was also used to study the short-term predictability of precipitation patterns depicted by high-resolution reflectivity data observed at microalpha (0.2-2 km) to mesobeta (20-200 km) scales by the CASA radar network. Additionally, DARTS was used to investigate the performance of nowcasting rainfall fields derived from specific differential phase estimates, which have been shown to provide more accurate and robust rainfall estimates compared to those made from radar reflectivity data.

▼ La variabilité de l’énergie solaire impose de limiter sa fraction d’injection instantanée dans le réseau électrique. Une amélioration des prévisions de l’ensoleillement conduirait à élever la limite de ce seuil, spécialement dans les zones non-interconnectées comme La Réunion. Une plus haute précision de prévision est particulièrement difficile à atteindre dans le cas des îles tropicales à cause de la convection prononcée et des circulations thermiques complexes au niveau local. Les modèles de prévision numérique du temps à aire limitée permettent de prévoir les processus liés aux nuages et l'éclairement solaire à de hautes résolutions spatio-temporelles, de l’ordre de quelques kilomètres et minutes. Néanmoins, ces modèles parviennent rarement à prévoir précisément l'évolution de la couche nuageuse et ont donc tendance à surestimer l'éclairement solaire. L’affinement des conditions initiales nuageuses des modèles régionaux par l’assimilation d’observations de satellites météorologiques géostationnaires est un moyen efficace pour améliorer les prévisions à court terme. Toutefois, une grande variété d'approches pour l'assimilation des données satellitaires existe et, jusqu'à présent, la recherche s’est concentrée sur les moyennes latitudes. Cette thèse aborde l'assimilation d'observations de satellites géostationnaires avec des modèles à aire limitée dans le sud-ouest de l'Océan Indien. Dans un premier temps, l'état de l'art des approches existantes pour l'assimilation de luminances observées et de propriétés physiques des nuageuse avec les modèles régionaux est dressé. Puis, l'une des approches les plus prometteuses est identifiée et appliquée au sud-ouest de l'Océan Indien. Dans les expériences effectuées, la teneur en eau des nuages est obtenue à partir des produits de propriétés nuageuses SatCORPS de la NASA. Ces observations sont assimilées avec un filtre de Kalman d’ensemble et le modèle Weather Research and Forecasting. Un ensemble de 41 membres et un espacement horizontal des points de grille de 12 km est appliqué avec un intervalle de cyclage de 6 heures pour l'assimilation. Le Data Assimilation Research Testbed et son opérateur d'observations de teneur en eau des nuages sont utilisés pour l'assimilation d'observations dans les phases solide, surfondue, et liquide. L'impact de cette approche d'assimilation sur des prévisions de l'éclairement horizontal global est évalué pour l'été austral 2017/2018 en utilisant des observations de pyranomètres sur l'île de La Réunion. Un effet positif de la méthode appliquée sur les prévisions de l'éclairement est constaté surtout pour les 14 premières heures de prévision. Différents aspects de l'amélioration des prévisions, grâce à l'assimilation de données, sont analysés par le biais d’expériences témoins sans assimilation, d’expériences avec un domaine de grille imbriquée avec un espacement horizontal des points de grille de 4 km et d’une comparaison avec des modèles opérationnels.

▼ The dryline is a narrow zone or discontinuity across which a sharp moisture gradient exists. The nighttime progression of this discontinuity is called the dew point front, and appears to reveal itself on satellite infrared photographs as a distinct boundary. The purpose of this study is to establish that the satellite-observed feature is indeed the dew point front. Two methods have been used in proving this assumption. The first was to utilize meteorological surface network data to analyze parameters which frequently indicate the presence of the dew point front. In this study, fields of temperature, dew point temperature, mixing ratio, adiabatic equivalent potential temperature, and streamlines were chosen. The position of the dew point front from each of these analyses was then compared to the satellite-inferred position of the dew point front. These comparisons showed that fields of mixing ratio, dew point temperature, and adiabatic equivalent potential temperature align to within 40-50 km of the satellite-inferred boundary, allowing a large measure of confidence to be placed in using the satellite photograph to interpret the position of the dew point front. The second method consisted of adapting a radiative model, based on standard assumptions and theories of radiative transfer, utilizing atmospheric sounding data to calculate the longwave radiative flux leaving the top of the atmosphere on either side of the boundary. If the difference in calculated fluxes across this boundary were to match the satellite-observed differences in fluxes, there would be no doubt that the satellite boundary was indeed the dew point front. Due to the simplicity of the model and its inability to treat cloud layers, the flux differences did not match. However, statistical analysis showed that the satellite imagery enhanced the ground temperature differences across the dew point front, amplifying the boundary on the infrared photographs. Thus, a second factor exists to confirm the fact that the visual satellite boundary is indeed the dew point front.

▼ Abstract: This work was carried out at Guariba-SP region. The main objective was to monitor the phonology of sugar cane (Saccharum spp), using field measures and images from the meteorological satellite NOAA14/AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/ Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer), to obtain data for utilization in crop growing models and yield estimation. To reach this objective some intermediate steps were established: to determine crop growing models and the correlation between culture biophysical parameters, mainly for Leaf Area Index and Dry Matter; to evaluate the correlation between crop spectral data and Leaf Area Index or Dry Matter Production; and to evaluate the correlation between orbital spectral data and Leaf Area Index or Dry Matter Production after making the geometric and atmospheric correction for NOAA14/AVHRR in tropical condition. These field experiments were carried out in "Usina São Martinho" (21º 24¿ 7,0¿ S, 48º 08¿ 26,5¿ W), Guariba, São Paulo State, Brazil, with the support of Copersucar Technological Center. Simultaneously with the satellite passes, meteorological and radiometric field measurements were taken, over the sugar cane plantation. To obtain the agronomic characterization and to monitor the plant growth, Fresh and Dry Matter from the Steam and the Leaves were also measured. These parameters were used for regression analyses to obtain growing and phytomass models that were related to spectral data from the field and from the satellite NOAA14/AVHRR. The basic hypotheses is that the growing season can be monitored without the necessity of a great number of field samplings and based on NOAA images mainly, through the determination of Orbital Vegetation Indices. Image processing was made during the field-sampling period. This procedure includes the correction of atmospheric and geometric effects. Leaf Area Index and Dry Matter Production were correlated one to another and to Field and Orbital Vegetation Index by means of regression statistical methods to determine the association between them. All curve models for the sugarcane growing data, i.e., Leaf Area Index and Dry Matter Production, instantaneous Yield estimation, and season Yield, presented R2 above 0.90. Multiple Linear Regression correlating Dry Matter values to Vegetation Indexes and Growing Days presented R2 around 0.83 and 0.90 for field and orbital data, respectively Advisors/Committee Members: UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS (CRUESP), Pinto, Hilton Silveira, 1942- (advisor), Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

▼ Accurate and long term information on the physical properties of clouds is required to increase our understanding on the role of clouds in the current climate system, and to better predict the behavior of clouds in a changing climate. This thesis investigates if retrievals of cloud physical properties from satellite imagers can be used to prepare time series of these properties for monitoring climate change, and to evaluate parameterizations of cloud processes in weather and climate prediction models. An algorithm for retrieval of Cloud Physical Properties (CPP) from visible and near-infrared reflectances of the AVHRR instrument onboard NOAA and the SEVIRI instrument onboard METEOSAT is presented. This algorithm retrieves cloud optical thickness, effective radius, and liquid water path, whereas a cloud model is used to simulate cloud geometrical thickness and droplet number concentration. Due to the large differences found between the reflectances from the different instruments (up to 25%), a recalibration procedure is developed that successfully reduces the retrieval differences to less than 5%. The uniqueness of the SEVIRI cloud property retrievals is in its unprecedented sampling frequency (15 minutes) that ensures the statistical significance of the dataset. One year of cloud liquid water path retrievals is validated against simultaneous Cloudnet microwave radiometer observations over Europe. The results show that during summer the agreement is very good while during winter an overestimation of about 20% is observed. Possible reason for this overestimation is the plane-parallel assumption in the CPP algorithm used to simulate real clouds. For single-layer stratocumulus days, a sub-adiabatic cloud model is used to obtain cloud geometrical thickness and cloud droplet number concentration. During these days good agreement is found between geometrical thickness simulations and Cloudnet lidar and radar observations, and cloud liquid water path retrievals and Cloudnet microwave radiometer observations. The simulated droplet concentration is found to vary independently from liquid water path and the geometrical thickness, which suggests possible interactions between aerosols and clouds. This shows potential in our dataset for studies of the indirect aerosol effect. The SEVIRI dataset of cloud property retrievals is used to evaluate the Regional Climate Model (RACMO) over Europe during a six-month period. The results show that RACMO represents the spatial variations of cloud amount and cloud liquid water path realistically, but underpredicts cloud amount by 20% and overpredicts liquid water path by 30%. Examination of the diurnal cycle shows that the RACMO maximum liquid water path occurs two hours earlier than that observed by SEVIRI, while the RACMO maximum cloud amount agrees reasonably well with SEVIRI’s amount. The largest differences in the diurnal cycle between RACMO and SEVIRI are found in regions of alternating stratiform and convective regimes where RACMO has difficulty representing the… Advisors/Committee Members: Wageningen University, Bert Holtslag, A.J.
