A Look at the Surface-Based Temperature Inversion on the Antarctic Plateau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from radiosondes, towers, and a thermistor string are used to characterize the temperature inversion at two stations: the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole, and the somewhat higher and colder Dome C Station at ...
Transmission of Solar Radiation by Clouds over Snow and Ice Surfaces: A Parameterization in Terms of Optical Depth, Solar Zenith Angle, and Surface Albedo
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multilevel spectral radiative transfer model is used to develop simple but accurate parameterizations for cloud transmittance as a function of cloud optical depth, solar zenith angle, and surface albedo, for use over ...
Surface Albedo of the Antarctic Sea Ice Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In three ship-based field experiments, spectral albedos were measured at ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths for open water, grease ice, nilas, young ?grey? ice, young grey-white ice, and first-year ice, ...
Overview of the CPOC Pilot Study at Whiteface Mountain, NY: Cloud Processing of Organics within Clouds (CPOC)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aqueous chemical processing within cloud and fog water is thought to be a key process in the production and transformation of secondary organic aerosol mass, found abundantly and ubiquitously throughout the troposphere. ...
