Abstract: Hourly Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-8 (GOES-8) imager data (1344?1944 UTC) from 20 July?31 August 1998 were used to study the daytime variation of shortwave direct radiative forcing (SWARF) of smoke ...

Abstract: This study reviews the capability of the advanced imagers on Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) I?M to provide quantitative information about bulk microphysical properties of low?level stratiform ...

Abstract: Many large grass fires occurred in north Texas and southern Oklahoma on 9 April 2009, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses and burning thousands of acres of grasslands, producing large smoke and debris plumes that ...

Abstract: Using a new angular distribution model (ADM) for smoke aerosols, the instantaneous top-of-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave aerosol radiative forcing (SWARF) is calculated for selected days over biomass-burning regions in South ...

Abstract: Dual-polarimetric microwave wavelength radar observations of an apartment fire in Huntsville, Alabama, on 3 March 2008 are examined to determine the radar-observable properties of ash and fire debris lofted into the ...

Abstract: This study investigates some of the characteristics or the interior regions of several hailstorms penetrated by the armored T-28 aircraft during the 1981 CCOPE field project. The vertical wind data were analyzed to identify ...

Abstract: Using satellite imagery, more than five million square kilometers of the forest and cerrado regions over South America are extensively studied to monitor fires and smoke during the 1985 biomass burning season. The results ...

Abstract: The large-scale spatial distribution and temporal variability of cloud liquid water path (LWP) over the world's oceans and the relationship of cloud LWP to temperature and the radiation budget are investigated using recent ...

Abstract: Using in situ measurements of aerosol optical properties and ground-based measurements of aerosol optical thickness (τs) during the Smoke, Clouds and Radiation?Brazil (SCAR-B) experiment, a four-stream broadband radiative ...
