RISSpace–Time Characteristics of Light Transmitted through Dense Clouds: A Green's Function Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Here, previous work using photon diffusion theory to describe radiative transfer through dense plane-parallel clouds at nonabsorbing wavelengths is extended. The focus is on the scaling of space- and time-domain moments ...
Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar Deployment at the ARM Southern Great Plains Site: Intercomparison of Cloud Property Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar (WAIL), a new instrument that measures cloud optical and geometrical properties by means of off-beam lidar returns, was deployed as part of a multi-instrument campaign to probe a cloud field ...
Toward Cloud Tomography from Space Using MISR and MODIS: Locating the “Veiled Core” in Opaque Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Multidimensional Longwave Forcing of Boundary Layer Cloud Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The importance of multidimensional (MD) longwave radiative effects on cloud dynamics is evaluated in an eddy-resolving model (ERM)?the two-dimensional analog to large-eddy simulation (LES)?framework employing multidimensional ...
Retrievals of Thick Cloud Optical Depth from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) by Calibration of Solar Background Signal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Laser beams emitted from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), as well as other spaceborne laser instruments, can only penetrate clouds to a limit of a few optical depths. As a result, only optical depths of thinner ...
Synthetic Observations of the Planetary Boundary Layer from Space: A Retrieval Observing System Simulation Experiment Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
THE I3RC: Bringing Together the Most Advanced Radiative Transfer Tools for Cloudy Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of clouds with solar and terrestrial radiation is one of the most important topics of climate research. In recent years it has been recognized that only a full three-dimensional (3D) treatment of this ...
