Abstract: The horizontal structure and dynamical properties of the teleconnection patterns in the interannual variability of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime 500 mb height field are investigated. Regression maps based on indices ...

Abstract: Angular distributions of the intensity of light scattered by airborne particles were measured for both parallel and perpendicularly polarized components. A precision polar nephelometer was constructed for use of this study. ...

Abstract: The equation of radiative transfer as applied to water clouds in the window region near 10 microns is solved numerically by using values of the phase function and albedo for single scattering estimated by Deirmendjian ...

Abstract: The problem of diffuse reflection, transmission and emission of infrared radiation by water clouds is investigated in the wavelength region from 5?50 ?. The drop-size distribution of clouds is assumed to be that of altostratus ...

Abstract: An algorithm was developed to retrieve both the optical thickness and the effective particle radius of low-level marine clouds simultaneously from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution ...
