Abstract: A compact law-radar system has been developed for use on an airborne platform. Of particular interest is the use of a flashlamp-pumped dye laser as the radiation source and a plastic Fresnel lens in the receiver to collect ...

Abstract: New formulas for the backscattered fraction in two-stream theory are derived. They express this fraction, for either isotropically or monodirectionally incident radiation, as a single integral over the scattering phase ...

Abstract: A simple radiative energy balance model has been developed to assess the impact of stratospheric aerosols on the global climate through their effect on the equilibrium global mean surface temperature. With the assumptions ...

Abstract: Simultaneous visibility observations and size-number distribution measurements of airborne soil particles were made during incidents of soil erosion in west Texas. Visibilities were calculated by applying Mie scattering ...

Abstract: The angular variation of the intensity of light scattered from a collimated beam by airborne soil particles and the size distribution of the particles were measured simultaneously 1.5 m above the ground. These measurements ...

Abstract: On 30 September 1970, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) obtained data on the vertical distribution of particulate material over Boulder, Colo., from laser radar soundings and simultaneous airborne particle ...
