RISThe Polarization Characteristics of Lidar Scattering from Snow and Ice Crystals in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of ice crystals on the backscatter polarization in lidar returns have been measured. Scattering from ground-level snow of varying density, high-altitude cirrus clouds and ice pellet shower clouds has been studied ...
Lidar-Derived Distribution of Cloud Vertical Location and Extent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a statistical analysis of lidar-determined cloud geometrical properties measured during the 1989 and 1991 campaigns of the Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study. Useful lidar descriptors ...
Lidar-Derived Cloud Optical Properties Obtained during the ECLIPS Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the Statistical properties of lidar-derived values of cloud extinction coefficients σ and optical depths τ. The data were collected at Toronto during two measurement phases (phase 1: September?October ...
The Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study (ECLIPS) for Cloud—Radiation Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study (ECLIPS) was initiated to obtain statistics on cloud-base height, extinction, optical depth, cloud brokenness, and surface fluxes. Two observational phases have taken place, in ...
