Speciation of Organic Aerosols in the Tropical Mid-Pacific and Their Relationship to Light Scattering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the importance of the aerosol contribution to the global radiative budget has been recognized, the forcings of aerosols in general, and specifically the role of the organic component in these forcings, still contain ...
A Compact Lightweight Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (CLASP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Compact Lightweight Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (CLASP) is an optical particle spectrometer capable of measuring size-resolved particle concentrations in 16 user-defined size bins spanning diameters in the range 0.24 < ...
A Method for Estimating the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation Rate from a Vertically Pointing Doppler Lidar, and Independent Evaluation from Balloon-Borne In Situ Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of estimating dissipation rates from a vertically pointing Doppler lidar with high temporal and spatial resolution has been evaluated by comparison with independent measurements derived from a balloon-borne sonic ...
The DACCIWA Project: Dynamics–Aerosol–Chemistry–Cloud Interactions in West Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: assive economic and population growth, and urbanization are expected to lead to a tripling of anthropogenic emissions in southern West Africa (SWA) between 2000 and 2030. However, the impacts of this on human health, ...
The RED Experiment: An Assessment of Boundary Layer Effects in a Trade Winds Regime on Microwave and Infrared Propagation over the Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the surface layer over the ocean the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory is often applied to construct vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In this context, the rough boundary layer is derived ...
The Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE): Investigating the Origins of Heavy Precipitation in the Southwestern United Kingdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) was a joint U.K.?U.S. field campaign held during the summer of 2013 in the southwest peninsula of England, designed to study convective clouds that produce heavy rain leading ...
Physical Exchanges at the Air–Sea Interface: UK–SOLAS Field Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the U.K. contribution to the international Surface Ocean?Lower Atmosphere Study, a series of three related projects?DOGEE, SEASAW, and HiWASE?undertook experimental studies of the processes controlling the ...
The Convective Storm Initiation Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) is an international project to understand precisely where, when, and how convective clouds form and develop into showers in the mainly maritime environment of southern England. ...
