RISThermal Impact of Saharan Dust over Land. Part I: Simnulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations are carded out to verify a mesoscale model in order to perform sensitivity tests of satellite response to atmospheric dust content. The model chosen is the mesoscale model of Colorado State University with a ...
A High-Accuracy Multiwavelength Radiometer for In Situ Measurements in the Thermal Infrared. Part II: Behavior in Field Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performances of the new conveyable low-noise infrared radiometer for measurements of atmosphere and ground surface targets, or CLIMAT, are presented for in situ measurements. For this, quantitative analyses were carried ...
Microphysical and Optical Properties of Cirrus and Contrails: Cloud Field Study on 13 October 1989
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive International Cirrus Experiment conducted over the North Sea during fall 1989, natural cirrus and contrail-induced cirrus were analyzed from in situ and remote sensing measurements (lidar and infrared ...
In Situ Observation of Cirrus Scattering Phase Functions with 22° and 46° Halos: Cloud Field Study on 19 February 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of halos and related phenomena due to ice crystals are commonly reported from ground observations and presented in the literature. Nevertheless, ice crystal characteristics have only been poorly documented ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part II: Microphysical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a quantitative analysis of in situ and radiative measurements concerning cirrus clouds is presented. These measurements were performed during the European Cloud and Radiative Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) as ...
A High-Accuracy Multiwavelength Radiometer for In Situ Measurements in the Thermal Infrared. Part I: Characterization of the Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The new infrared radiometer (conveyable low-noise infrared radiometer for measurements of atmosphere and ground surface targets, or CLIMAT) is a highly sensitive field instrument designed to measure brightness temperatures ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive European Cloud and Radiation Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) conducted off the coast of Brittany (France) over the Atlantic Ocean during April 1994, natural cirrus have been analyzed from in situ and remote ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from POLDER-1/ADEOS Polarized Radiances: First Validation Using a Ground-Based Lidar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bidirectional polarized reflectances measured with the POLDER-1 instrument on board Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-1 have been used to infer cloud altitude and thermodynamical phase (ice/liquid) at a global scale. This ...
Comparison of High-Cloud Characteristics as Estimated by Selected Spaceborne Observations and Ground-Based Lidar Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characterization of high clouds as performed from selected spaceborne observations is assessed in this article by employing a number of worldwide ground-based lidar multiyear datasets as reference. Among the latter, ...
Validation of IIR/CALIPSO Level 1 Measurements by Comparison with Collocated Airborne Observations during CIRCLE-2 and Biscay ‘08 Campaigns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the frame of validation of the spatial observations from the radiometer IIR on board CALIPSO, the two airborne campaigns Cirrus Cloud Experiment (CIRCLE)-2 and Biscay ?08 took place in 2007 and 2008 in the western part ...
