Abstract: The Arctic Stratus Experiment, conducted during June 1980 over the Beaufort Sea, produced an extensive set of simultaneous measurements of boundary layer structure, radiation fluxes, and cloud microphysical properties. In ...

Abstract: Using the large eddy simulation (LES) technique, the authors study a clear-air, stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) as it approaches a quasi-steady state. The Beaufort Sea Arctic Stratus Experiment (BASE) ...

Abstract: An over-ocean ice water path (IWP) algorithm, using satellite Special Sensor Microwave Water Vapor Sounder (SSM/T-2) data, is presented for clouds during the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere ...

Abstract: The method of simultaneously retrieving ice water path and mass median diameter using microwave data at two frequencies is examined and implemented for tropical nonprecipitating clouds. To develop the retrieval algorithm, ...

Abstract: This paper explores the potential of using satellite data to develop a climatology of aircraft icing probability in oceanic regions. The datasets employed in this analysis are: the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave ...

Abstract: An ice water path retrieval algorithm, using airborne Millimeter-Wave Imaging Radiometer brightness temperatures at 89, 150, and 220 GHz, is developed for tropical clouds. This algorithm is based on the results of radiative ...

Abstract: To provide guidance for the development of satellite microwave rainfall-retrieval algorithms, the basic relationships between emission and scattering signals in natural clouds must be understood. In this study, the ...

Abstract: An analysis of satellite microwave brightness temperatures at 85 GHz (37 GHz) shows that these temperatures sometimes vary by more than 30 K (15 K) within 1 or 2 days at a single location over Arctic sea ice. This variation ...

Abstract: In order to understand the mechanisms of formation of broad size spectra of cloud droplets and to develop a basis for the parameterization of cloud microphysical and optical properties, the authors derive a general kinetic ...
