NCAR-NOAA Lower-tropospheric water vapor workshop
|
ABSTRACT
A workshop on remote sensing of lower-tropospheric water vapor, jointly sponsored by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was held on 30 June and 1 July 1998 at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado. Scientists representing a variety of disciplines, from climate to weather forecasting, presented their needs for improved water vapor measurements. Engineers and scientists gave information on the current technology for water vapor measuring platforms and retrieval methods. The workshop concluded with an open forum at which the ...
