Remote Sensing Cloud Properties from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for estimating cloud radiative properties (i.e., spectral emissivity and reflectivity) in the infrared is developed based on observations at a spectral resolution of approximately 0.5 cm?1. The algorithm makes ...
The 27–28 October 1986 FIRE IFO Cirrus Case Study: Spectral Properties of Cirrus Clouds in the 8–12 μm Window
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lidar and high spectral resolution infrared radiance observations taken on board the ER-2 on 28 October 1986 are used to study the radiative properties of cirrus cloud in the 8?12 ?m window region. Measurements from the ...
Jovian Winds from Voyager 2. Part II: Analysis of Eddy Transports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous Voyager 1 and 2 Jovian circulation measurements exhibit a large positive correlation between eddy momentum transports and the meridional shear of the zonal wind component, implying a very large rate of conversion ...
Cloud Phase Determination Using Ground-Based AERI Observations at SHEBA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique for ascertaining the thermodynamic cloud phase from high-spectral-resolution ground-based infrared measurements made by the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) is presented. This technique ...
Noise Reduction of Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) Observations Using Principal Component Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A principal component noise filter has been applied to ground-based high-spectral-resolution infrared radiance observations collected by the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometers (AERIs) deployed by the Atmospheric ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Spectrometry during FIRE II. Part II: Aircraft HIS Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper parts analysis of cloud observations by the High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder made from the NASA ER-2 aircraft during FIRE II. Clear and cloudy sky radiance spectra are presented in terms of differences ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Spectrometry during FIRE II. Part III: Ground-Based HIS Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During FIRE II, cirrus clouds were observed in the wavelength range 3?19, µm with two High Resolution Interferometer Sounders as described in the Part I companion paper. One, known as AC-HIS, was mounted on the NASA ER-2 ...
Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from High Spectral Resolution Infrared Spectrometry during FIRE II. Part I: The High Resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS) Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics of the ER-2 aircraft and ground-based High Resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS) instruments deployed during FIRE II are described. A few example spectra are given to illustrate the HIS cloud and ...
Dry Bias and Variability in Vaisala RS80-H Radiosondes: The ARM Experience
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thousands of comparisons between total precipitable water vapor (PWV) obtained from radiosonde (Vaisala RS80-H) profiles and PWV retrieved from a collocated microwave radiometer (MWR) were made at the Atmospheric Radiation ...
