Remote Sounding of Cirrus Cloud Optical Depths and Ice Crystal Sizes from AVHRR Data: Verification Using FIRE II IFO Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the data obtained from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 3.7-µm and 10.9-µm channels, a retrieval scheme has been developed to simultaneously infer cirrus cloud optical depth and mean effective ice ...
Tropospheric Comparisons of Vaisala Radiosondes and Balloon-Borne Frost-Point and Lyman-α Hygrometers during the LAUTLOS-WAVVAP Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The accuracy of all types of Vaisala radiosondes and two types of Snow White chilled-mirror hygrosondes was assessed in an intensive in situ comparison with reference hygrometers. Fourteen nighttime reference comparisons ...
Radiation Dry Bias of the Vaisala RS92 Humidity Sensor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The comparison of simultaneous humidity measurements by the Vaisala RS92 radiosonde and by the Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometer (CFH) launched at Alajuela, Costa Rica, during July 2005 reveals a large solar radiation dry ...
Cirrus Cloud Radiative and Microphysical Properties from Ground Observations and In Situ Measurements during FIRE 1991 and Their Application to Exhibit Problems in Cirrus Solar Radiative Transfer Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from the FIRE 1991 cirrus cloud field experiment in the central United States are presented and analyzed. The first part focuses on cirrus microphysical properties. Aircraft 2D-probe in situ data at different ...
Water Vapor Measurements by Howard University Raman Lidar during the WAVES 2006 Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor mixing ratio retrieval using the Howard University Raman lidar is presented with emphasis on three aspects: (i) comparison of the lidar with collocated radiosondes and Raman lidar, (ii) investigation of the ...
Characterization of Upper-Troposphere Water Vapor Measurements during AFWEX Using LASE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor mass mixing ratio profiles from NASA's Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) system acquired during the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)?First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project ...
