RISVariability of Optical Depth and Effective Radius in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiance measurements made by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) at 1-km (nadir) spatial resolution were used to retrieve cloud optical depth (τ) and cloud droplet effective radius (reff) for 31 marine ...
Nature of the Mesoscale Boundary Layer Height and Water Vapor Variability Observed 14 June 2002 during the IHOP_2002 Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale water vapor heterogeneities in the boundary layer are studied within the context of the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002). A significant portion of the water vapor variability in the IHOP_2002 occurs at the ...
Small-Scale Variability in Warm Continental Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have analyzed small-scale fluctuations in microphysical, dynamical and thermodynamical parameters measured in two warm cumulus clouds during the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) project (1981) in ...
Turbulent Mixing, Spectral Evolution and Dynamics in a Warm Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The analysis of Paluch suggests that some cumuli contain cloudy air from only two sources: cloud base and cloud top. A framework is presented for the investigation of droplet spectral evolution in clouds composed of air ...
