Contrails, Cirrus Trends, and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rising global air traffic and its associated contrails have the potential for affecting climate via radiative forcing. Current estimates of contrail climate effects are based on coverage by linear contrails that do not ...
A Case Study of the Development of Contrail Clusters over the Great Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Widespread persistent contrails over the western Great Lakes during 9 October 2000 were examined using commercial flight data, coincident meteorological data, and satellite remote sensing data from several platforms. The ...
Evaluation of a Forward Operator to Assimilate Cloud Water Path into WRF-DART
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ssimilating satellite-retrieved cloud properties into storm-scale models has received limited attention despite its potential to provide a wide array of information to a model analysis. Available retrievals include cloud ...
Determining the Flight Icing Threat to Aircraft with Single-Layer Cloud Parameters Derived from Operational Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n algorithm is developed to determine the flight icing threat to aircraft utilizing quantitative information on clouds derived from meteorological satellite data as input. Algorithm inputs include the satellite-derived ...
Simultaneous Radar and Satellite Data Storm-Scale Assimilation Using an Ensemble Kalman Filter Approach for 24 May 2011
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ssimilating high-resolution radar reflectivity and radial velocity into convection-permitting numerical weather prediction models has proven to be an important tool for improving forecast skill of convection. The use of ...
Storm-Scale Data Assimilation and Ensemble Forecasting with the NSSL Experimental Warn-on-Forecast System. Part II: Combined Radar and Satellite Data Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his research represents the second part of a two-part series describing the development of a prototype ensemble data assimilation system for the Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) project known as the NSSL Experimental WoF System for ...
Mean Structure and Diurnal Cycle of Southeast Atlantic Boundary Layer Clouds: Insights from Satellite Observations and Multiscale Modeling Framework Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mean structure and diurnal cycle of southeast (SE) Atlantic boundary layer clouds are described with satellite observations and multiscale modeling framework (MMF) simulations during austral spring (September?November). ...
Variational Assimilation of Cloud Liquid/Ice Water Path and Its Impact on NWP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalysis of the cloud components in numerical weather prediction models using advanced data assimilation techniques has been a prime topic in recent years. In this research, the variational data assimilation (DA) system for ...
Object-Based Verification of a Prototype Warn-on-Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn object-based verification methodology for the NSSL Experimental Warn-on-Forecast System for ensembles (NEWS-e) has been developed and applied to 32 cases between December 2015 and June 2017. NEWS-e forecast ...
Clouds, Aerosols, and Precipitation in the Marine Boundary Layer: An Arm Mobile Facility Deployment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Clouds, Aerosol, and Precipitation in the Marine Boundary Layer (CAP-MBL) deployment at Graciosa Island in the Azores generated a 21-month (April 2009?December 2010) comprehensive dataset documenting clouds, aerosols, ...
