Dual Lidar Observations at 10.6 μm and 532 nm for Retrieving Semitransparent Cirrus Cloud Properties

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2006:;volume( 045 ):;issue: 004:;page 537

Author(s): Chiriaco, M.; Chepfer, H.; Noel, V.; Haeffelin, M.; Drobinski, P.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: To improve the estimation of the infrared radiances in cirrus clouds, one needs to consider the vertical inhomogeneities of the cloud properties. The position of the maximum of absorption within an ice cloud is potentially ...

Evaluation of MM5 Optically Thin Clouds over Europe in Fall Using ICESat Lidar Spaceborne Observations

Source: Monthly Weather Review:;2007:;volume( 135 ):;issue: 007:;page 2737

Author(s): Chepfer, H.; Chiriaco, M.; Vautard, R.; Spinhirne, J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The description of clouds in mesoscale models has progressed significantly during recent years by improving microphysical schemes with more physical parameterizations deduced from observations. Recently, the first lidar ...

The Ability of MM5 to Simulate Ice Clouds: Systematic Comparison between Simulated and Measured Fluxes and Lidar/Radar Profiles at the SIRTA Atmospheric Observatory

Source: Monthly Weather Review:;2006:;volume( 134 ):;issue: 003:;page 897

Author(s): Chiriaco, M.; Vautard, R.; Chepfer, H.; Haeffelin, M.; Dudhia, J.; Wanherdrick, Y.; Morille, Y.; Protat, A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The ability of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) to simulate midlatitude ice clouds is evaluated. Model outputs are compared to long-term meteorological measurements by active ...

Improving Retrievals of Cirrus Cloud Particle Size Coupling Lidar and Three-Channel Radiometric Techniques

Source: Monthly Weather Review:;2004:;volume( 132 ):;issue: 007:;page 1684

Author(s): Chiriaco, M.; Chepfer, H.; Noel, V.; Delaval, A.; Haeffelin, M.; Dubuisson, P.; Yang, P.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This study is intended to illustrate the potential advantage of combining lidar measurements and the split-window technique based on the infrared spectral information contained at the 8.65-, 11.15-, and 12.05-?m bands for ...

Parallel Developments and Formal Collaboration between European Atmospheric Profiling Observatories and the U.S. ARM Research Program

Comparison of CALIPSO-Like, LaRC, and MODIS Retrievals of Ice-Cloud Properties over SIRTA in France and Florida during CRYSTAL-FACE

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2007:;volume( 046 ):;issue: 003:;page 249

Author(s): Chiriaco, M.; Chepfer, H.; Minnis, P.; Haeffelin, M.; Platnick, S.; Baumgardner, D.; Dubuisson, P.; McGill, M.; Noël, V.; Pelon, J.; Spangenberg, D.; Sun-Mack, S.; Wind, G.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This study compares cirrus-cloud properties and, in particular, particle effective radius retrieved by a Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO)-like method with two similar methods using ...
