Abstract: Three cases of colliding outflow boundaries are examined using data collected from the NOAA Doppler lidar and a meteorological tower during the summer of 1986 near Boulder, Colorado. The data are unique because the lidar ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of retrieving characteristic particle sizes for the November 26 1991 FIRE II case using two methods that utilize ground-based remotes sensors. The size information for the complete vertical ...

Abstract: The microphysical characteristics, radiative impact, and life cycle of a long-lived, surface-based mixed-layer, mixed-phase cloud with an average temperature of approximately ?20°C are presented and discussed. The cloud ...

Abstract: The goals of the current study are threefold: 1) to present a multispectral, multiresolution (MSMR) methodology for analysis of scenes containing multiple cloud layers; 2) to apply the MSMR method to two multilevel cloud ...

Abstract: Simultaneous multiwavelength measurements of a developing cloud system were obtained by NOAA Doppler lidar, Doppler radar, Fourier transform infrared interferometer, and microwave and infrared radiometers on 26 November ...

Abstract: he variability of precipitation and water supply along the U.S. West Coast creates major challenges to the region?s economy and environment, as evidenced by the recent California drought. This variability is strongly ...

Abstract: An overview is given of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment Arctic Clouds Experiment that was conductedduring April?July 1998. The principal goal of the field experiment was to gather the data needed to examine the impactof ...
