The effects of rawinsonde density and frequency on radiation computations

ABSTRACT High density and frequency of rawinsonde observations during the International Field Year of the Great Lakes (IFYGL) were used to determine the sensitivity of infrared computations for daily and weekly periods. Model derived values of daily surface flux and radiative heating rates computed...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT High density and frequency of rawinsonde observations during the International Field Year of the Great Lakes (IFYGL) were used to determine the sensitivity of infrared computations for daily and weekly periods. Model derived values of daily surface flux and radiative heating rates computed from various spatial and temporal distributions of rawinsonde observations exhibited only small changes.
