RISPerturbation Technique to Retrieve Scattering Medium Stratification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is well known that optical satellite remote sensing is mostly based on measurements of the radiance exiting the top of the earth's atmosphere and is interpreted using a comparison of the data with precalculated tables ...
Rapid Estimation of Column-Averaged CO2 Concentration Using a Correlation Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurement of XCO2, the column-averaged mole fraction of CO2, using reflected sunlight in the near-infrared bands of CO2, is strongly influenced by photons that are scattered in the atmosphere because scattering can either ...
Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar Deployment at the ARM Southern Great Plains Site: Intercomparison of Cloud Property Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar (WAIL), a new instrument that measures cloud optical and geometrical properties by means of off-beam lidar returns, was deployed as part of a multi-instrument campaign to probe a cloud field ...
Feasibility of Cloud Screening Using Proxy Photon Pathlength Distributions Derived from High-Resolution Spectra in the Near Infrared
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution spectra of reflected sunlight in the 2-?m absorption band of CO2 are simulated at the top of the atmosphere using cloud profiles and particle sizes from CloudSat analyzed meteorology from ECMWF, surface ...
