RISCirrus Infrared Parameters and Shortwave Reflectance Relations from Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary of experimental observations and analysis of cirrus from high-altitude aircraft remote sensing is presented. The vertical distribution of cirrus optical and infrared cross-section parameters and the relative ...
Statistics of Cloud Optical Properties from Airborne Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate knowledge of cloud optical properties, such as extinction-to-backscatter ratio and depolarization ratio, can have a significant impact on the quality of cloud extinction retrievals from lidar systems because ...
The Airborne Cloud–Aerosol Transport System: Overview and Description of the Instrument and Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Airborne Cloud?Aerosol Transport System (ACATS) is a Doppler wind lidar system that has recently been developed for atmospheric science capabilities at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). ACATS is also a ...
Full-Time, Eye-Safe Cloud and Aerosol Lidar Observation at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Sites: Instruments and Data Processing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric radiative forcing, surface radiation budget, and top-of-the-atmosphere radiance interpretation involve knowledge of the vertical height structure of overlying cloud and aerosol layers. During the last decade, ...
An Improvement to the High-Spectral-Resolution CO2-Slicing Cloud-Top Altitude Retrieval
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An improvement to high-spectral-resolution infrared cloud-top altitude retrievals is compared to existing retrieval methods and cloud lidar measurements. The new method, CO2 sorting, determines optimal channel pairs to ...
The NASA Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment: High-Altitude Aircraft Measurements in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he February?March 2014 deployment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) provided unique in situ measurements in the western Pacific tropical tropopause ...
