RISA Midlatitude Cirrus Cloud Climatology from the Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing. Part II: Microphysical Properties Derived from Lidar Depolarization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part II of this series of papers describing the results of the extended time observations of cirrus clouds from the University of Utah Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing (FARS), the information content of laser ...
Diagnosing Cloud Microphysical Process Information from Remote Sensing Measurements—A Feasibility Study Using Aircraft Data. Part I: Tropical Anvils Measured during TC4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigate whether radar remote sensing of a certain class of ice clouds allows for characterization of the precipitation rates and aggregation processes. The NASA DC-8 collected the measurements in tropical ...
The Vertical Structure of Cloud Occurrence and Radiative Forcing at the SGP ARM Site as Revealed by 8 Years of Continuous Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data collected at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program ground sites allow for the description of the atmospheric thermodynamic state, cloud occurrence, and cloud properties. This information allows for the ...
Cirrus Clouds and the Large-Scale Atmospheric State: Relationships Revealed by Six Years of Ground-Based Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The properties of cirrus clouds observed at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF) in Oklahoma are documented from a nearly continuous 6-yr record of 35-GHz cloud radar data. Cirrus ...
Inferring the Properties of Snow in Southern Ocean Shallow Convection and Frontal Systems Using Dual-Polarization C-Band Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Impact of Dynamics and Atmospheric State on Cloud Vertical Overlap
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observation and representation in general circulation models (GCMs) of cloud vertical overlap are the objects of active research due to their impacts on the earth?s radiative budget. Previous studies have found that ...
Critical Evaluation of the ISCCP Simulator Using Ground-Based Remote Sensing Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Given the known shortcomings in representing clouds in global climate models (GCMs), comparisons with observations are critical. The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) diagnostic products provide ...
