Effective Radius of Ice Cloud Particle Populations Derived from Aircraft Probes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effective radius (re) is a crucial variable in representing the radiative properties of cloud layers in general circulation models. This parameter is proportional to the condensed water content (CWC) divided by the ...
The Airborne Cloud–Aerosol Transport System: Overview and Description of the Instrument and Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Airborne Cloud?Aerosol Transport System (ACATS) is a Doppler wind lidar system that has recently been developed for atmospheric science capabilities at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). ACATS is also a ...
Fully Automated Detection of Cloud and Aerosol Layers in the CALIPSO Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate knowledge of the vertical and horizontal extent of clouds and aerosols in the earth?s atmosphere is critical in assessing the planet?s radiation budget and for advancing human understanding of climate change issues. ...
