Evaluating the Quality of Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer Measurements and Retrievals Using Detrended Fluctuation and Spectral Analysis Methods

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;2002:;volume( 041 ):;issue: 001:;page 56

Author(s): Ivanova, K.; Clothiaux, E. E.; Shirer, H. N.; Ackerman, T. P.; Liljegren, J. C.; Ausloos, M.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Time series both of microwave radiometer brightness temperature measurements at 23.8 and 31.4 GHz and of retrievals of water vapor and liquid water path from these brightness temperatures are evaluated using the detrended ...

Observations of Spatial Variations of Boundary Layer Structure over the Southern Great Plains Cloud and Radiation Testbed

Author(s): Ghan, S. J.; Liljegren, J. C.; Shaw, W. J.; Hubbe, J. H.; Doran, J. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A 6.25-km resolution dataset of meteorology, vegetation type, and soil type for a domain covering a typical global climate model grid cell is used to drive a land surface physics model for a period of 6 months. Additional ...

Dry Bias and Variability in Vaisala RS80-H Radiosondes: The ARM Experience

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2003:;volume( 020 ):;issue: 001:;page 117

Author(s): Turner, D. D.; Lesht, B. M.; Clough, S. A.; Liljegren, J. C.; Revercomb, H. E.; Tobin, D. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Thousands of comparisons between total precipitable water vapor (PWV) obtained from radiosonde (Vaisala RS80-H) profiles and PWV retrieved from a collocated microwave radiometer (MWR) were made at the Atmospheric Radiation ...

Author(s): Turner, D. D.; Vogelmann, A. M.; Johnson, K.; Miller, M.; Austin, R. T.; Barnard, J. C.; Flynn, C.; Long, C.; McFarlane, S. A.; Cady-Pereira, K.; Clough, S. A.; Chiu, J. C.; Khaiyer, M. M.; Liljegren, J.; Lin, B.; Minnis, P.; Marshak, A.; Matrosov, S. Y.; Min, Q.; O'Hirok, W.; Wang, Z.; Wiscombe, W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic, contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very sensitive to small perturbations of the ...
