Abstract: The use of angular-scan and multi-spectral techniques for Inferring temperature profiles from ground-based radiometric observations of emission by atmospheric oxygen is discussed. A recently developed multi-frequency ...

Abstract: Measurements of precipitable water vapor, cloud liquid, and cloud-base temperature made at Porto Santo Island, Madeira Archipelago, are presented. The observations were made continuously over a 1-yr period from July 1992 ...

Abstract: A ground-based combination microwave radiometer-satellite receiver operating at 28.5 GHz (wavelength = 1.05 cm) was employed to measure liquid water in clouds during the 1979-80 field season of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot ...

Abstract: Surface measurements made at San Nicolas Island during the intensive field observation marine stratocumulus phase of the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Progam Regional Experiment, July 1987, are analyzed ...

Abstract: Data are used from a Kα-band radar and microwave radiometer along with a droplet model to determine the droplet parameters of drizzle and clouds. Drizzle droplet parameters are determined from the zeroth, first, and second ...

Abstract: Field trials have been carried out in the Boulder, Colorado area of a method of determination of cloud liquid-water distribution by inversion of brightness temperature data obtained from a pair of microwave radiometers ...

Abstract: The dual-channel microwave radiometer is evaluated in regard to the measurement of integrated water vapor and supercooled liquid water. The study includes comparisons of integrated vapor content measured by the radiometer ...

Abstract: The temporal and spatial distribution of cloud liquid water in a winter storm from the 1983 Utah/NOAA Cooperative Weather Modification Program is characterized using remote sensing observations. The remote sensors, located ...

Abstract: We report on observations of liquid water in clouds made by two independent ground-based microwave instruments. One system is a dual-frequency (20.6, 31.65 GHz) microwave radiometer designed to measure emission from the ...

Abstract: As part of the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Regional Experiment (FIRE), a surface meteorology and shortwave/longwave irradiance station was operated in a marine stratocumulus regime on the northwest tip ...
