Abstract: Satellite retrieval of cirrus cloud microphysical properties is an important but difficult problem because of uncertainties in ice-scattering characteristics. Most methods have been developed for instruments aboard ...

Abstract: he depth of boundary layer water vapor plays a critical role in convective cloud formation in the warm season, but numerical models often struggle with accurate predictions of above-surface moisture. Satellite retrievals ...

Abstract: By combining observations from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) 3.9- and 10.7-?m channels, the reflected component of the 3.9-?m radiance can be isolated. In this paper, these 3.9-?m reflectivity ...

Abstract: utput from a real-time high-resolution numerical model is used to generate synthetic infrared satellite imagery. It is shown that this imagery helps to characterize model-simulated large-scale precursors to the formation ...

Abstract: n 2011, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began a cooperative initiative with the academic community to help address a vexing issue that has long been known as a disconnection between the operational ...
