Improved Daytime Column-Integrated Precipitable Water Vapor from Vaisala Radiosonde Humidity Sensors

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2008:;volume( 025 ):;issue: 006:;page 873

Author(s): Cady-Pereira, K. E.; Shephard, M. W.; Turner, D. D.; Mlawer, E. J.; Clough, S. A.; Wagner, T. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Accurate water vapor profiles from radiosondes are essential for long-term climate prediction, weather prediction, validation of remote sensing retrievals, and other applications. The Vaisala RS80, RS90, and RS92 radiosondes ...

Author(s): Turner, D. D.; Lesht, B. M.; Clough, S. A.; Liljegren, J. C.; Revercomb, H. E.; Tobin, D. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Thousands of comparisons between total precipitable water vapor (PWV) obtained from radiosonde (Vaisala RS80-H) profiles and PWV retrieved from a collocated microwave radiometer (MWR) were made at the Atmospheric Radiation ...

The QME AERI LBLRTM: A Closure Experiment for Downwelling High Spectral Resolution Infrared Radiance

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;2004:;Volume( 061 ):;issue: 022:;page 2657

Author(s): Turner, D. D.; Tobin, D. C.; Clough, S. A.; Brown, P. D.; Ellingson, R. G.; Mlawer, E. J.; Knuteson, R. O.; Revercomb, H. E.; Shippert, T. R.; Smith, W. L.; Shephard, M. W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has led to significant improvements in longwave radiative transfer modeling over the last decade. These improvements, which ...

Thin Liquid Water Clouds: Their Importance and Our Challenge

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2007:;volume( 088 ):;issue: 002:;page 177

Author(s): Turner, D. D.; Vogelmann, A. M.; Johnson, K.; Miller, M.; Austin, R. T.; Barnard, J. C.; Flynn, C.; Long, C.; McFarlane, S. A.; Cady-Pereira, K.; Clough, S. A.; Chiu, J. C.; Khaiyer, M. M.; Liljegren, J.; Lin, B.; Minnis, P.; Marshak, A.; Matrosov, S. Y.; Min, Q.; O'Hirok, W.; Wang, Z.; Wiscombe, W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic, contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very sensitive to small perturbations of the ...

Author(s): Revercomb, H. E.; Turner, D. D.; Tobin, D. C.; Knuteson, R. O.; Feltz, W. F.; Barnard, J.; Bösenberg, J.; Clough, S.; Cook, D.; Ferrare, R.; Goldsmith, J.; Gutman, S.; Halthore, R.; Lesht, B.; Liljegren, J.; Linné, H.; Michalsky, J.; Morris, V.; Porch, W.; Richardson, S.; Schmid, B.; Splitt, M.; Van Hove, T.; Westwater, E.; Whiteman, D.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A series of water vapor intensive observation periods (WVIOPs) were conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site in Oklahoma between 1996 and 2000. The goals of these WVIOPs are to characterize the accuracy ...
