A Comparison of Lidar and Balloon-Borne Particle Counter Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol 1974–1980

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1982:;Volume( 039 ):;issue: 004:;page 909

Author(s): Swissler, T. J.; Hamill, P.; Osborn, M.; Russell, P. B.; McCormick, M. P.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: We compare a series of 85 dustsonde measurements and 84 lidar measurements made in midlatitude North America during 1974?80. This period includes two major volcanic increases (Fuego in 1974 and St. Helens in 1980), as well ...

Comparison of Water Vapor Measurements by Airborne Sun Photometer and Diode Laser Hygrometer on the NASA DC-8

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2008:;volume( 025 ):;issue: 010:;page 1733

Author(s): Livingston, J. M.; Schmid, B.; Russell, P. B.; Podolske, J. R.; Redemann, J.; Diskin, G. S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: In January?February 2003, the 14-channel NASA Ames airborne tracking sun photometer (AATS) and the NASA Langley/Ames diode laser hygrometer (DLH) were flown on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. The AATS measured column water vapor ...

Complex Index of Refraction of Airborne Soil Particles

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1974:;volume( 013 ):;issue: 004:;page 459

Author(s): Grams, G. W.; Blifford, I. H.; Gillette, D. A.; Russell, P. B.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The angular variation of the intensity of light scattered from a collimated beam by airborne soil particles and the size distribution of the particles were measured simultaneously 1.5 m above the ground. These measurements ...

The Life Cycle of Stratospheric Aerosol Particles

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;1997:;volume( 078 ):;issue: 007:;page 1395

Author(s): Hamill, Patrick; Jensen, Eric J.; Russell, P. B.; Bauman, Jill J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This paper describes the life cycle of the background (nonvolcanic) stratospheric sulfate aerosol. The authors assume the particles are formed by homogeneous nucleation near the tropical tropopause and are carried aloft ...

Satellite and Correlative Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol. I: An Optical Model for Data Conversions

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1981:;Volume( 038 ):;issue: 006:;page 1279

Author(s): Russell, P. B.; Livingston, J. M.; Swissler, T. J.; McCormick, M. P.; Chu, W. P.; Pepin, T. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: We present a model of stratospheric aerosol optical properties (refractive index and relative size distribution) and their variability. The model's purposes are 1) providing flexible, efficient means for converting between ...

Satellite and Correlative Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol. III: Comparison of Measurements by SAM II, SAGE, Dustsondes, Filters, Impactors and Lidar

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1984:;Volume( 041 ):;issue: 011:;page 1791

Author(s): Russell, P. B.; McCormick, M. P.; Swissler, T. J.; Rosen, J. M.; Hofmann, D. J.; McMaster, L. R.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A large satellite validation experiment was conducted at Poker Flat, Alaska, 16?19 July 1979. Instruments included the SAM II and SAGE satellite sensors, dustsondes impactors, a fitter collector and an airborne lidar. We ...
