Abstract: A series of clouds-radiation experiments was carried out in June 1980 in Arctic stratus clouds occurring over the Beaufort Sea using the NCAR Electra aircraft. This paper is an analysis of the hemispheric radiation fields ...

Abstract: The occurrence of cloudiness over the Beaufort Sea region of the Arctic Basin during June 1980, is related to the ambient large-scale meteorological conditions. Cloud data are obtained from a hand analysis of the visible ...

Abstract: The performance of a recent version of the general circulation model used at the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheric Science is evaluated with particular emphasis on its behavior at high latitudes of the Northern and Southern ...

Abstract: Aircraft measurements of infrared radiation and cloud microphysics that were collected during the June 1980 Arctic Stratus Experiment are presented and analyzed with the aid of an infrared radiative transfer model. The ...

Abstract: Changes in radiative heating and cooling rates due to both the near Infrared and 15?bands of CO2 are computed for changes in CO2 concentration from 320 to 600 and 1000 ppmv. An increase in CO2 concentration leads to a ...

Abstract: Data sensitivity experiments are carried out with a regional objective analysis and forecast model to study the influence of selected components of the FGGE observing system in the high latitude North Atlantic and eastern ...
