RISCirrus Structure and Radiative Parameters from Airborne Lidar and Spectral Radiometer Observations: The 28 October 1986 FIRE Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Remote sensing lidar and imaging spectral radiometer observations were obtained from the ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft during the 1986 FIRE cirrus missions. The dual polarization lidar measurements were nadir directed ...
Cirrus Infrared Parameters and Shortwave Reflectance Relations from Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary of experimental observations and analysis of cirrus from high-altitude aircraft remote sensing is presented. The vertical distribution of cirrus optical and infrared cross-section parameters and the relative ...
Lidar Observations of the Fine-Scale Variability of Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Nd:YAG lidar system was flown aboard NASA's ER-2 high altitude aircraft. Observations of cloud top height were made with 70 m along-track and 7.5 m vertical-height resolution. The lidar data observed from an East Pacific ...
Aircraft Overflight Measurements of Midwest Severe Storms: Implications an Geosynchronous Satellite Interpretations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The instrumented NASA ER-2 aircraft overflew severe convection with infrared (IR) V features for the first time in the Midwest United States during May 1984. Measurements taken by the ER-2 were: visible and IR imagery, ...
The 27–28 October 1986 FIRE IFO Cirrus Case Study: Cloud Microstructure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature and windfield structure and hydrometeor composition of cirrus clouds sampled by the NCAR King Air and Sabreliner aircraft on 28 October 1986 near Madison, Wisconsin are described as part of a case study ...
Optical Depth Measurements of Aerosol Cloud, and Water Vapor Using Sun Photometers during FIRE Cirrus IFO II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Optical depths in the visible to infrared spectral region were obtained from solar extinction measurements with two sun photometers during the First ISCCP Regional Experiment Phase II Cirrus Intensive Field Observation in ...
Combined Infrared Stereo and Laser Ranging Cloud Measurements from Shuttle Mission STS-85
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiangle remote sensing provides a wealth of information for earth and climate monitoring, such as the ability to measure the height of cloud tops through stereoscopic imaging. Further, as technology advances so do the ...
A Comparison of Cloud Cover Statistics from the GLAS Lidar with HIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cloud dataset from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) lidar on the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) spacecraft is compared to the cloud analysis of the Wisconsin NOAA High Resolution Infrared ...
Determination of the Optical Thickness and Effective Particle Radius of Clouds from Reflected Solar Radiation Measurements. Part II: Marine Stratocumulus Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multispectral scanning radiometer has been used to obtain measurements of the reflection function of marine stratocumulus clouds at 0.75, 1.65 and 2.16 ?m. These observations were obtained from the NASA ER-2 aircraft as ...
