Interactive Cloud Formation and Climatic Temperature Perturbations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional climate model with an interactive cloud formation program is developed to investigate its effects on temperature perturbations due to various radiative forcings including doubling of CO2, a 2% increase ...
An Assessment of the Differential Inversion Method for Remote Sounding of Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have explored the applicability of the differential inversion (DI) method to temperature retrievals in both clear and cloudy atmospheres using red satellite data. The main theme of the DI is that the local Planck intensity ...
Removal of the Solar Component in AVHRR 3.7-µm Radiances for the Retrieval of Cirrus Cloud Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical scheme has been developed to remove the solar component in the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 3.7-µm channel for the retrieval of cirrus parameters during daytime. This method uses a number ...
Remote Sounding of Multilayer Cirrus Cloud Systems Using AVHRR Data Collected during FIRE-II-IFO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface observations show that multilayer clouds frequently occur in frontal areas where cirrus clouds overlie boundary layer convective clouds or stratus clouds. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for the retrieval ...
Detection of Multilayer Cirrus Cloud Systems Using AVHRR Data: Verification Based on FIRE II IFO Composite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical scheme has been developed to identify multilayer cirrus cloud systems using Advanced Very Higher Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. It is based on the physical properties of the AVHRR channels 1?2 reflectance ...
A Polarized Delta-Four-Stream Approximation for Infrared and Microwave Radiative Transfer: Part I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The delta-four-stream polarized (vector) thermal radiative transfer has been formulated and numerically tested specifically for application to satellite data assimilation in cloudy atmospheres. It is shown that for thermal ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Cloud Particle Size and Optical Depth Using Polarimetric Sensor Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual approach toward the remote sensing of cirrus cloud particle size and optical depth using the degree of polarization and polarized reflectance associated with the first three Stokes parameters, ...
Interpretation of AIRS Data in Thin Cirrus Atmospheres Based on a Fast Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thin cirrus cloud thermal infrared radiative transfer model has been developed for application to cloudy satellite data assimilation. This radiation model was constructed by combining the Optical Path Transmittance ...
Remote Sounding of the Tropical Cirrus Cloud Temperature and Optical Depth Using 6.5 and 10.5 μm Radiometers during STEP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A dual-channel retrieval technique involving the water vapor band at 6.5 ?m and the window region at 10.5 gm has been developed to infer the temperature and emissivity of tropical anvils. This technique has been applied ...
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 ...
