Uncertainty in observational estimates of the aerosol direct radiative effect and forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A lower-bound on the uncertainty in observational estimates of the aerosol direct radiative effect (DRE, the direct interaction with solar radiation by all aerosols), and the aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF, the ...
Impact of CAMEX-4 Datasets for Hurricane Forecasts Using a Global Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study explores the impact on hurricane data assimilation and forecasts from the use of dropsondes and remotely sensed moisture profiles from the airborne Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) system. It is shown ...
Raman Lidar Profiling of Atmospheric Water Vapor: Simultaneous Measurements with Two Collocated Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Raman lidar is a loading candidate for providing the detailed space-and time-resolved measurements of water vapor needed by a variety of atmospheric studies. Simultaneous measurements of atmospheric watervapor are described ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Assimilation of Water Vapor Differential Absorption Lidar Data: The First Case Study within IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four-dimensional variational assimilation of water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) data has been applied for investigating their impact on the initial water field for mesoscale weather forecasting. A case that ...
Intercomparison of Water Vapor Data Measured with Lidar during IHOP_2002. Part II: Airborne-to-Airborne Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dataset of the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002) gives the first opportunity for direct intercomparisons of airborne water vapor lidar systems and allows very important conclusions to be drawn for future field ...
Overview of the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary goal of the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study (CHAPS) was to characterize and contrast freshly emitted aerosols below, within, and above fields of cumuli, and to study changes to the cloud microphysical ...
LASE Measurements of Water Vapor, Aerosol, and Cloud Distributions in Saharan Air Layers and Tropical Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) on board the NASA DC-8 measured high-resolution profiles of water vapor and aerosols, and cloud distributions in 14 flights over the eastern North Atlantic during the NASA ...
The CALIPSO Automated Aerosol Classification and Lidar Ratio Selection Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Descriptions are provided of the aerosol classification algorithms and the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) selection schemes for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) ...
Intercomparison of Water Vapor Data Measured with Lidar during IHOP_2002. Part I: Airborne to Ground-Based Lidar Systems and Comparisons with Chilled-Mirror Hygrometer Radiosondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water vapor data measured with airborne and ground-based lidar systems during the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002), which took place in the Southern Great Plains during 13 May?25 June 2002 were investigated. So ...
