Details of Colliding Thunderstorm Outflows as Observed by Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Ground-Based Remote Sensing of Cloud Particle Sizes during the 26 November 1991 FIRE II Cirrus Case: Comparisons with In Situ Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
An Arctic Springtime Mixed-Phase Cloudy Boundary Layer Observed during SHEBA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Satellite Remote Sensing of Multiple Cloud Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Multiwavelength Observations of a Developing Cloud System: The FIRE II 26 November 1991 Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
CalWater Field Studies Designed to Quantify the Roles of Atmospheric Rivers and Aerosols in Modulating U.S. West Coast Precipitation in a Changing Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
