ACTINOFORM CLOUDS: Overlooked Examples of Cloud Self-Organization at the Mesoscale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stratocumulus clouds are common in the tropical and subtropical marine boundary layer, and understanding these clouds is important due to their significant impact on the earth's radiation budget. Observations show that the ...
Assessment of MISR Cloud Motion Vectors (CMVs) Relative to GOES and MODIS Atmospheric Motion Vectors (AMVs)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud motion vector (CMV) winds retrieved from the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on the polar-orbiting Terra satellite from 2003 to 2008 are compared with collocated atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) ...
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 ...
