Remote Sounding of High Clouds: II. Emissivity of Cirrostratus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results from a series of measurements of the beam emissivity of cirrostratus at 10?12 ?m wavelengths are presented, using methods of analysis which were discussed in Part I. A ruby lidar and infrared radiometer were ...
Remote Sounding of High Clouds. Part VI: Optical Properties of Midlatitude and Tropical Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A lidar (0.694 ?m wavelength) and a passive radiometer (10?12 ?m) have been used together to remotely sense the optical properties and gross structure of cirrus (the LIRAD method). This article reports on observations of ...
Remote Sounding of High Clouds. V: Infrared Properties and Structures of Tropical Thunderstorm Anvils
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The infrared properties and structures of some anvils emanating from local thunderstorms were studied by lidar and infrared radiometry at Darwin, tropical Northern Australia. The anvils were typically from 1 to 2 km deep, ...
