Abstract: This study analyzes the occurrence of the visibility (Vis) versus precipitation rates (PR) for rain and versus relative humidity (RH) from surface observations that were collected during the Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling ...

Abstract: The vertical distribution of liquid water content (LWC) and its relationship with temperature (T) strongly affect the heat budget of the atmosphere. Some large-scale models of the atmosphere use a relationship between LWC ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study, using in situ observations from five field projects, is to analyze cloud boundaries and averaging scales related to droplet number concentration (Nd) and total aerosol number concentration (Na), ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to suggest a new warm-fog visibility parameterization scheme for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. In situ observations collected during the Radiation and Aerosol Cloud Experiment, ...

Abstract: Aircraft data collected during the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Regional Experiment (FIRE)I are used to examine dynamical processes operating in cirrus cloud systems observed on 19 and 28 October ...

Abstract: A warm fog detection (air temperature > ?5°C) algorithm using a combination of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-12 (GOES-12) observations and screen temperature data based on an operational numerical model ...

Abstract: ce phase precipitation occurs at the Earth?s surface and may include various types of pristine crystals, rimed crystals, freezing droplets, secondary crystals, aggregates, graupel, hail, or combinations of any of these. ...

Abstract: Techniques are presented to obtain vertical velocity in cirrus clouds from in situ aircraft lateral wind measurements and from ground-based remote Doppler lidar measurements. In general, direct measurements of absolute ...

Abstract: In this study, observations from aircraft, Doppler radar, and LANDSAT are used to better understand dynamical and microphysical characteristics of low-level Arctic clouds for climate change studies. Observations during the ...

Abstract: Airborne observations conducted in marine stratus over the cast coast of Canada during the North Atlantic Regional Experiment in the summer of 1993 are used to develop cloud microphysical parameterization schemes for general ...
