Sensitivity of Thermal Infrared Radiation at the Top of the Atmosphere and the Surface to Ice Cloud Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on the sensitivity of the brightness temperatures associated with radiances at the surface and the top of the atmosphere, simulated for the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR) 8.7-, 10.6-, and 12-?m channels ...
A Synergistic Analysis of Cloud Cover and Vertical Distribution from A-Train and Ground-Based Sensors over the High Arctic Station Eureka from 2006 to 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ctive remote sensing instruments such as lidar and radar allow one to accurately detect the presence of clouds and give information on their vertical structure and phase. To better address cloud radiative impact over the ...
Retrieval of Cloud Properties Using CALIPSO Imaging Infrared Radiometer. Part I: Effective Emissivity and Optical Depth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he paper describes the operational analysis of the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR) data, which have been collected in the framework of the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission ...
The Retrieval of Ice-Cloud Properties from Cloud Radar and Lidar Synergy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds are an important component of the earth?s climate system. A better description of their microphysical properties is needed to improve radiative transfer calculations. In the framework of the Earth, Clouds, Aerosols, ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part II: Microphysical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a quantitative analysis of in situ and radiative measurements concerning cirrus clouds is presented. These measurements were performed during the European Cloud and Radiative Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) as ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive European Cloud and Radiation Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) conducted off the coast of Brittany (France) over the Atlantic Ocean during April 1994, natural cirrus have been analyzed from in situ and remote ...
Retrieval of Cloud Properties Using CALIPSO Imaging Infrared Radiometer. Part II: Effective Diameter and Ice Water Path
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the version-3 level-2 operational analysis of the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR) data collected in the framework of the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from POLDER-1/ADEOS Polarized Radiances: First Validation Using a Ground-Based Lidar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bidirectional polarized reflectances measured with the POLDER-1 instrument on board Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-1 have been used to infer cloud altitude and thermodynamical phase (ice/liquid) at a global scale. This ...
Comparison of Airborne In Situ, Airborne Radar–Lidar, and Spaceborne Radar–Lidar Retrievals of Polar Ice Cloud Properties Sampled during the POLARCAT Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study illustrates the high potential of RALI, the French airborne radar?lidar instrument, for studying cloud processes and evaluating satellite products when satellite overpasses are available. For an Arctic nimbostratus ...
