RISOn the Controls of Daytime Precipitation in the Amazonian Dry Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Amazon plays an important role in the global energy and hydrological budgets. The precipitation during the dry season (June?September) plays a critical role in maintaining the extent of the rain forest. The deployment ...
Exploring Stratocumulus Cloud-Top Entrainment Processes and Parameterizations by Using Doppler Cloud Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations made at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program?s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site during uniform nonprecipitating stratocumulus cloud conditions for a 14-h period are used to examine cloud-top ...
Clarifying Remotely Retrieved Precipitation of Shallow Marine Clouds from the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V

The Radiation Budget of the West African Sahel and Its Controls: A Perspective from Observations and Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinuous measurements of the shortwave (SW), longwave (LW), and net cross-atmosphere radiation flux divergence over the West African Sahel were made during the year 2006 using the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) ...
Differences between Nonprecipitating Tropical and Trade Wind Marine Shallow Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arine nonprecipitating cumulus topped boundary layers (CTBLs) observed in a tropical and in a trade wind region are contrasted based on their cloud macrophysical, dynamical, and radiative structures. Data from the Atmospheric ...
Remote Sensing of Sea Salt Aerosol below Trade Wind Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSea salt aerosol in the boundary layer below shallow cumulus clouds is remotely observed with a Ka-band cloud radar at the Barbados Cloud Observatory and is detected in 76% of the measurements over 1 year. Carried ...
Climatology of Surface Meteorology, Surface Fluxes, Cloud Fraction, and Radiative Forcing over the Southeast Pacific from Buoy Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 5-yr climatology of the meteorology, including boundary layer cloudiness, for the southeast Pacific region is presented using observations from a buoy located at 20°S, 85°W. The sea surface temperature and surface air ...
Turbulence and Radiation in Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layers: A Case Study from VOCALS-REx
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations made during a 24-h period as part of the Variability of the American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean?Cloud?Atmosphere?Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx) are analyzed to study the radiation and turbulence ...

A Technique for Estimating Liquid Droplet Diameter and Liquid Water Content in Stratocumulus Clouds Using Radar and Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a technique for estimating the liquid water content (LWC) and a characteristic particle diameter in stratocumulus clouds using radar and lidar observations. The uncertainty in LWC estimate from radar ...
