Determination of Clear-Sky Radiative Flux Profiles, Heating Rates, and Optical Depths Using Unmanned Aerospace Vehicles as a Platform
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the authors report results obtained using an unmanned aerospace vehicle (UAV) as an experimental platform for atmospheric radiative transfer research. These are the first ever climate measurements made from ...
The Measurement of Aerosol Optical Properties Using Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large uncertainties in the effects that aerosols have on climate require improved in situ measurements of extinction coefficient and single-scattering albedo. This paper describes the use of continuous wave cavity ring-down ...
The Baseline Surface Radiation Network Pyrgeometer Round-Robin Calibration Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With the aim of improving the consistency of terrestrial and atmospheric longwave radiation measurements within the Baseline Surface Radiation Network, five Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR) pyrgeometers and one ...
