Abstract: The potential of the 2D-Grey optical array probe (OAP) (with 10-?m resolution) to determine cloud microphysical properties is studied. Systematic test measurements with a spinning glass disk with sample spots of various ...

Abstract: Case studies of rainfall, derived from Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) satellite data during the passage of individual cyclones over the North Atlantic, are presented to enhance the knowledge of rainfall processes ...

Abstract: Today, latent heat flux and precipitation over the global ocean surface can be determined from microwave satellite data as a basis for estimating the related fields of the ocean surface freshwater flux. The Hamburg Ocean ...

Abstract: AbstractA configuration of the High-Altitude Long-Range Research Aircraft (HALO) as a remote sensing cloud observatory is described, and its use is illustrated with results from the first and second Next-Generation Aircraft ...
