Abstract: Optical depth measurements of transmissive cirrus clouds were made using coincident lidar and satellite data to improve our interpretation of satellite cloud climatologies. The University of Wisconsin High Spectral Resolution ...

Abstract: Knowledge of cirrus cloud optical depths is necessary to understand the earth?s current climate and to model the cloud radiation impact on future climate. Cirrus clouds, depending on the ratio of their shortwave ?visible? ...

Abstract: Ice cloud microphysical parameters derived from a remote sensing method that uses ground-based measurements from the Environmental Technology Laboratory?s Ka-band radar and an IR radiometer are compared to those obtained ...

Abstract: The 1995 Arizona Program was a field experiment aimed at advancing the understanding of winter storm development in a mountainous region of central Arizona. From 15 January through 15 March 1995, a wide variety of ...
