RISObjective Assessment of the Information Content of Visible and Infrared Radiance Measurements for Cloud Microphysical Property Retrievals over the Global Oceans. Part II: Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cirrus clouds play an important yet poorly determined role in the earth?s climate system and its various feedback mechanisms. As such, a significant amount of work has been accomplished both in understanding the physics ...
A Coupled Cloud Physics–Radiation Parameterization of the Bulk Optical Properties of Cirrus and Its Impact on the Met Office Unified Model Global Atmosphere 5.0 Configuration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new coupled cloud physics?radiation parameterization of the bulk optical properties of ice clouds is presented. The parameterization is consistent with assumptions in the cloud physics scheme regarding particle size ...
Testing and Comparing the Modified Anomalous Diffraction Approximation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modified anomalous diffraction approximation (MADA) is used to predict absorption and extinction in water and ice clouds, but it does not predict the scattering phase function or asymmetry parameter g. In conjunction ...
A New Parameterization of Single Scattering Solar Radiative Properties for Tropical Anvils Using Observed Ice Crystal Size and Shape Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterizations of single scattering properties currently used in cloud resolving and general circulation models are somewhat limited in that they typically assume the presence of single particle habits, do not adequately ...
