Potential of Higher-Order Moments and Slopes of the Radar Doppler Spectrum for Retrieving Microphysical and Kinematic Properties of Arctic Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etrievals of ice-cloud properties from cloud-radar observations are challenging because the retrieval methods are typically underdetermined. Here, the authors investigate whether additional information can be obtained from ...
A New Criterion to Improve Operational Drizzle Detection with Ground-Based Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLight shallow precipitation in the form of drizzle is one of the mechanisms for liquid water removal, affecting cloud lifetime and boundary layer dynamics and thermodynamics. The early formation of drizzle drops ...
Developing and Evaluating Ice Cloud Parameterizations for Forward Modeling of Radar Moments Using in situ Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bserving ice clouds using zenith pointing millimeter cloud radars is challenging because the transfer functions relating the observables to meteorological quantities are not uniquely defined. Here, the authors use a spectral ...
Atmospheric Ice Particle Shape Estimates from Polarimetric Radar Measurements and In Situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA remote sensing approach to retrieve the degree of nonsphericity of ice hydrometeors using scanning polarimetric Ka-band radar measurements from a U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) ...
Hydrometeor Shape Variability in Snowfall as Retrieved from Polarimetric Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Optimal Estimation Retrievals and Their Uncertainties: What Every Atmospheric Scientist Should Know
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Remote sensing instruments are heavily used to provide observations for both the operational and research communities. These sensors do not provide direct observations of the desired atmospheric variables, but instead, ...
The Second ARM Training and Science Application Event: Training the Next Generation of Atmospheric Scientists
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Snowfall in the Northern Great Lakes: Lessons Learned from a Multisensor Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Bird’s-Eye View: Development of an Operational ARM Unmanned Aerial Capability for Atmospheric Research in Arctic Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThorough understanding of aerosols, clouds, boundary layer structure, and radiation is required to improve the representation of the Arctic atmosphere in weather forecasting and climate models. To develop such ...
