RISRetrieving Cloud Characteristics from Ground-Based Daytime Color All-Sky Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A discussion is presented of daytime sky imaging and techniques that may be applied to the analysis of full-color sky images to infer cloud macrophysical properties. Descriptions of two different types of sky-imaging systems ...

Cloud Coverage Based on All-Sky Imaging and Its Impact on Surface Solar Irradiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Lauder, Central Otago, New Zealand, two all-sky imaging systems have been in operation for more than 1 yr, measuring the total, opaque, and thin cloud fraction, as well as indicating whether the sun is obscured by clouds. ...
Reconciling Ground-Based and Space-Based Estimates of the Frequency of Occurrence and Radiative Effect of Clouds around Darwin, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of this paper is to investigate whether estimates of the cloud frequency of occurrence and associated cloud radiative forcing as derived from ground-based and satellite active remote sensing and radiative ...
ARM Research In The Equatorial Western Pacific: A Decade And Counting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cal western Pacific (TWP) is an important climatic region. Strong solar heating, warm sea surface temperatures, and the annual progression of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) across this region generate abundant ...
Ground-Based Remote Sensor Observations during PROBE in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 6 January to 28 February 1993, the second phase of the Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment (PROBE) was conducted in Kavieng, Papua New Guinea. Routine data taken during PROBE included radiosondes released every 6 ...
