A Cloud-Resolving Model with an Adaptive Vertical Grid for Boundary Layer Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate cloud-resolving model simulations of cloud cover and cloud water content for boundary layer clouds are difficult to achieve without vertical grid spacing well below 100 m, especially for inversion-topped stratocumulus. ...
Evaluation of Hydrometeor Occurrence Profiles in the Multiscale Modeling Framework Climate Model Using Atmospheric Classification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical profiles of hydrometeor occurrence from the multiscale modeling framework (MMF) climate model are compared with profiles observed by a vertically pointing millimeter wavelength cloud radar (located in the U.S. ...
Variability of the Australian Monsoon and Precipitation Trends at Darwin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n atmospheric classification for northwestern Australia is used to define periods of monsoon activity and investigate the interannual and intraseasonal variability of the Australian monsoon, as well as long-term precipitation ...
Hydrometeor Detection Using Cloudsat—An Earth-Orbiting 94-GHz Cloud Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In late April 2006, NASA launched Cloudsat, an earth-observing satellite that uses a near-nadir-pointing millimeter-wavelength radar to probe the vertical structure of clouds and precipitation. The first step in using ...
Evaluation of the Multiscale Modeling Framework Using Data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a recently developed approach to climate modeling, called the multiscale modeling framework (MMF), a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model (CRM) is embedded into each grid column of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM), ...
A Bootstrap Technique for Testing the Relationship between Local-Scale Radar Observations of Cloud Occurrence and Large-Scale Atmospheric Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A classification scheme is created to map the synoptic-scale (large scale) atmospheric state to distributions of local-scale cloud properties. This mapping is accomplished by a neural network that classifies 17 months of ...
Enhanced Radar Backscattering due to Oriented Ice Particles at 95 GHz during StormVEx
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onspherical atmospheric ice particles can enhance radar backscattering and attenuation above that expected from spheres of the same mass. An analysis of scanning 95-GHz radar data collected during the Storm Peak Laboratory ...
Comparison of Stratus Cloud Properties Deduced from Surface, GOES, and Aircraft Data during the March 2000 ARM Cloud IOP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-level stratus cloud microphysical properties derived from surface and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) data during the March 2000 cloud intensive observational period (IOP) at the Atmospheric ...
Observations of Ice Crystal Habits with a Scanning Polarimetric W-Band Radar at Slant Linear Depolarization Ratio Mode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: canning polarimetric W-band radar data were evaluated for the purpose of identifying predominant ice hydrometeor habits. Radar and accompanying cloud microphysical measurements were conducted during the Storm Peak Laboratory ...
