RISIdentification of Small Ice Cloud Particles Using Passive Radiometric Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is currently significant uncertainty about the extent to which cirrus clouds are composed of ?small? ice crystals smaller than about 20-?m effective radius. This is due in part to concerns that in situ measurements ...
Objective Assessment of the Information Content of Visible and Infrared Radiance Measurements for Cloud Microphysical Property Retrievals over the Global Oceans. Part II: Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cirrus clouds play an important yet poorly determined role in the earth?s climate system and its various feedback mechanisms. As such, a significant amount of work has been accomplished both in understanding the physics ...
Objective Assessment of the Information Content of Visible and Infrared Radiance Measurements for Cloud Microphysical Property Retrievals over the Global Oceans. Part I: Liquid Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The importance of accurately representing the role of clouds in climate change studies has become increasingly apparent in recent years, leading to a substantial increase in the number of satellite sensors and associated ...

Estimation of Snowfall Properties at a Mountainous Site in Norway Using Combined Radar and In Situ Microphysical Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe ability of in situ snowflake microphysical observations to constrain estimates of surface snowfall accumulations derived from coincident, ground-based radar observations is explored. As part of the High-Latitude ...
