A novel approach for parametrization of the cloud effect on ultraviolet (UV) sun wavelengths
is proposed. Diagnostic and observational studies show that solar reflectance at 0.65 μm (R …

The broad geographical coverage and high temporal and spatial resolution of geostationary
satellite data provide an excellent opportunity to collect information on variables whose …

The GL (GLobal radiation) physical model was developed to compute global solar
irradiance at ground level from (VIS) visible channel imagery of geostationary satellites …

This study examines the implications of recent updates to the High Resolution Transmission
(HITRAN) database and the MT_CKD water vapor continuum model on infrared radiative …

This study offers an alternative presentation regarding how diurnal precipitation is
modulated by convective events that developed over the central Amazon during the …

The availability of onboard calibration for solar reflectance channels on recently launched
advanced geostationary imagers provides an opportunity to revisit the calibration of the …

Image registration is important in geostationary weather satellites. Achieving consistent
registration of the images with respect to the geographical locations on the Earth is here of …

This paper proposes a new verification metric, the Pattern Similarity Index (PSI), that can
simultaneously evaluate location errors and shapes of rainfall areas. Pixel-by-pixel …

Para medir a variável insolação são utilizados heliógrafos e pireliômetros em estações
meteorológicas convencionais e automáticas, respectivamente. Apesar de o Brasil possuir …
