RISDual Lidar Observations at 10.6 μm and 532 nm for Retrieving Semitransparent Cirrus Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To improve the estimation of the infrared radiances in cirrus clouds, one needs to consider the vertical inhomogeneities of the cloud properties. The position of the maximum of absorption within an ice cloud is potentially ...
Assessment of Physical Parameterizations Using a Global Climate Model with Stretchable Grid and Nudging
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique atmospheric general circulation model with zooming capability (LMDZ) has been used in a nudged mode to enable comparison of model outputs with routine observations and evaluate the ...
STRAT: An Automated Algorithm to Retrieve the Vertical Structure of the Atmosphere from Single-Channel Lidar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Today several lidar networks around the world provide large datasets that are extremely valuable for aerosol and cloud research. Retrieval of atmospheric constituent properties from lidar profiles requires detailed analysis ...
The Ability of MM5 to Simulate Ice Clouds: Systematic Comparison between Simulated and Measured Fluxes and Lidar/Radar Profiles at the SIRTA Atmospheric Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) to simulate midlatitude ice clouds is evaluated. Model outputs are compared to long-term meteorological measurements by active ...
Improving Retrievals of Cirrus Cloud Particle Size Coupling Lidar and Three-Channel Radiometric Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is intended to illustrate the potential advantage of combining lidar measurements and the split-window technique based on the infrared spectral information contained at the 8.65-, 11.15-, and 12.05-?m bands for ...
Exploiting Existing Ground-Based Remote Sensing Networks to Improve High-Resolution Weather Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new generation of high-resolution (1 km) forecast models promises to revolutionize the prediction of hazardous weather such as windstorms, flash floods, and poor air quality. To realize this promise, a dense observing ...
Parallel Developments and Formal Collaboration between European Atmospheric Profiling Observatories and the U.S. ARM Research Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Comparison of CALIPSO-Like, LaRC, and MODIS Retrievals of Ice-Cloud Properties over SIRTA in France and Florida during CRYSTAL-FACE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares cirrus-cloud properties and, in particular, particle effective radius retrieved by a Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO)-like method with two similar methods using ...
How Can Existing Ground-Based Profiling Instruments Improve European Weather Forecasts?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTo realize the promise of improved predictions of hazardous weather such as flash floods, wind storms, fog, and poor air quality from high-resolution mesoscale models, the forecast models must be initialized with ...
The ScaRaB–Resurs Earth Radiation Budget Dataset and First Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements made by the second flight model of the Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) instrument have been processed and are now available for the scientific community. Although this set of data is relatively short and ...
