Investigation of the Turbulent Structure of a Cloud-Capped Mixed Layer Using Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new method for retrieving air velocity fluctuations in the cloud-capped boundary layer (BL) using radar reflectivity and the Doppler velocity fields is proposed. The method was developed on the basis of data obtained by ...
Investigation of Droplet Size Distributions and Drizzle Formation Using A New Trajectory Ensemble Model. Part II: Lucky Parcels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel trajectory ensemble model of the cloud-topped boundary layer containing 1340 Lagrangian parcels moving with a turbulent-like flow with the observed statistical properties was applied to investigate the formation ...
Investigation of Droplet Size Distributions and Drizzle Formation Using a New Trajectory Ensemble Model. Part I: Model Description and First Results in a Nonmixing Limit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel trajectory ensemble model of a stratocumulus cloud is described. In this model, the boundary layer (BL) is fully covered by a great number of Lagrangian air parcels that during their motion can contain either wet ...
Combined Observational and Model Investigations of the Z–LWC Relationship in Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In situ measurements indicate the complexity and nonunique character of radar reflectivity?liquid water content (Z?LWC) relationships in stratocumulus and cumulus clouds. Parameters of empirical (statistical) Z?LWC dependences ...
Advances in Continuously Profiling the Thermodynamic State of the Boundary Layer: Integration of Measurements and Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes advances in ground-based thermodynamic profiling of the lower troposphere through sensor synergy. The well-documented integrated profiling technique (IPT), which uses a microwave profiler, a cloud ...
Development of an Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Standard Gas Saving System and Its Application to a Measurement at a Site in the West Siberian Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the atmospheric CO2 concentration from a 90-m tower in Berezorechka, western Siberia, that have taken place since October 2001 were used to characterize CO2 variations over a vast boreal forest area. A new ...
Wind Hazard and Turbulence Monitoring at Airports with Lidar, Radar, and Mode-S Downlinks: The UFO Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis article presents the prospects of measurement systems for wind hazards and turbulence at airports, which have been explored in the Ultrafast Wind Sensors (UFO) project. At France?s Toulouse?Blagnac Airport, ...
THE BALTEX BRIDGE CAMPAIGN: An Integrated Approach for a Better Understanding of Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds cause uncertainties in the determination of climate sensitivity to either natural or anthropogenic changes. Furthermore, clouds dominate our perception of the weather, and the relatively poor forecast of cloud and ...
Cloudnet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloudnet project aims to provide a systematic evaluation of clouds in forecast and climate models by comparing the model output with continuous ground-based observations of the vertical profiles of cloud properties. ...
