Air–Sea Interactions among Oceanic Low-Level Cloud, Sea Surface Temperature, and Atmospheric Circulation on an Intraseasonal Time Scale in the Summertime North Pacific Based on Satellite Data Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-level cloud plays a key role in modulating air–sea interaction processes and sea surface temperature (SST) variability. The present study investigated the evolution process of oceanic low-level cloud cover (LCC) and ...
Effects of Cloud Horizontal Inhomogeneity on the Optical Thickness Retrieved from Moderate-Resolution Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud remote sensing techniques are conventionally based on the independent pixel approximation (IPA). Here, three-dimensional (3D) radiative effects on IPA-based retrieved optical thickness from a visible-wavelength ...
Interannual Variation in Top-of-Atmosphere Upward Shortwave Flux over the Arctic Related to Sea Ice, Snow Cover, and Land Cloud Cover in Spring and Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Retrieval of Effective Particle Radius and Liquid Water Path of Low-Level Marine Clouds from NOAA AVHRR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm was developed to retrieve both the optical thickness and the effective particle radius of low-level marine clouds simultaneously from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution ...
Comparison of Global and Seasonal Characteristics of Cloud Phase and Horizontal Ice Plates Derived from CALIPSO with MODIS and ECMWF
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study analyzed the global and seasonal characteristics of cloud phase and ice crystal orientation (CTYPE-lidar) by using the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) on board the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar ...
A Gauge-Based Analysis of Daily Precipitation over East Asia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new gauge-based analysis of daily precipitation has been constructed on a 0.5° latitude?longitude grid over East Asia (5°?60°N, 65°?155°E) for a 26-yr period from 1978 to 2003 using gauge observations at over 2200 stations ...
Aerosol Optical Properties in the Iranian Region Obtained by Ground-Based Solar Radiation Measurements in the Summer Of 1991
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar radiation measurements were made using sun photometers and pyranometers during 31 May-7 June 1991 at several places in Iran and during 12 June-17 September 1991 at a fixed place, Bushehr, Iran. In the first period ...
Data Quality Assessment and the Long-Term Trend of Ground Solar Radiation in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar radiation is one of the most important factors affecting climate and the environment. Routine measurements of irradiance are valuable for climate change research because of long time series and areal coverage. In ...
