Mammatus Clouds as a Response to Cloud-Base Radiative Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mammatus clouds are the pouchlike lobes seen hanging from mid- to high-level clouds. They can look quite dramatic, but they are also interesting because they provide clues to what controls anvil cirrus dynamic evolution. ...
Examination of POLDER/PARASOL and MODIS/Aqua Cloud Fractions and Properties Representativeness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Polarization and Anisotropy of Reflectances for Atmospheric Sciences Coupled with Observations from a Lidar (PARASOL) and Aqua are two satellites on sun-synchronous orbits in the A-Train constellation. Aboard these two ...
Toward New Inferences about Cloud Structures from Multidirectional Measurements in the Oxygen A Band: Middle-of-Cloud Pressure and Cloud Geometrical Thickness from POLDER-3/PARASOL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New evidence from collocated measurements, with support from theory and numerical simulations, that multidirectional measurements in the oxygen A band from the third Polarization and Directionality of the Earth?s Reflectances ...
