Description:
Aircraft, Skylab, NOAA-2, ATS-3, and NIMBUS-5 recently obtained a variety of measurements of Pacific hurricane Ava. These measurements are unusually broad in scope and include satellite observed passive microwave emissivities at 13.9 and 19.5 GHz, active microwave scattering cross-sections at 13.9 GHz, and near infrared and visible images. Essentially simultaneous aircraft measurements of wind speed, waves, whitecaps, 1.4 and 13-15 GHz passive microwave emissivities, 1.4 GHz active microwave images, sea surface temperatures, pressure fields, and aerosol size distributions were also obtained. A brief description of sensors and platforms is presented along with some in-depth details of results obtained.
