Two new theoretical algorithms for the bias-free |
|
determination of atmospheric temperatures from upwelling |
|
radiance data were implemented in this research--the |
|
Differential Inversion (DI) algorithm and Optical Measure |
|
Theory (OMT). DI and OMT are complementary bias-free |
|
approaches to the construction of atmospheric temperature |
|
profiles. Previous work on DI was extended to permit the |
|
computation of partial atmospheric temperature profiles |
|
(at three altitudes) from Tiros Operational Vertical |
|
Sounder (TOVS) data. These partial temperature profiles |
|
demonstrated the utility of DI for the important |
|
operational problem of determination of the tropopause |
|
altitude. In OMT, atmospheric temperature profiles are |
|
the fundamental theoretical entities. Application of OMT |
|
to TOVS data in this research has resulted in the first |
|
bias-free computation of a complete atmospheric |
|
temperature profile from upwelling radiance data. This |
|
profile exhibits a meteorological character which is a |
|
natural consequence of the physical principles of |
|
radiative energy transfer on which OMT is based. |
|
Algorithmic studies in the development of DI and OMT have |
|
further elucidated the classic problems associated with |
|
the inversion of radiance data to obtain atmospheric |
|
temperature profiles. In addition to the TOVS data, data |
|
sets from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program |
|
(DMSP) and the high-resolution Interferometer Sounder |
|
(HIS) were investigated for their suitability for |
|
inversion to atmospheric temperature profiles by DI and |
|
Omt. Keywords: Differential inversion; Optical measure |
|
theory; Remote sensing; Atmospheric temperature profiles. |
