Abstract: A method of retrieving effective radius and optical depth of stratocumulus from narrowband near-infrared radiances was recently presented by Rawlins and Foot. Their retrieval scheme used LOWTRAN 5 to calculate atmospheric ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of warm stratocumulus cloud albedo to changes in droplet concentration, termed ?cloud susceptibility,? is calculated using data from the UKMO Meteorological Research Flight. Stratocumulus clouds in the ...

Abstract: Results are presented from the Measurement of Tropospheric Humidity (MOTH) Tropic and MOTH Arctic airborne field experiments, comparing a number of in situ humidity measurements. Good agreement is shown between the Total ...

Abstract: The authors investigate the extent to which the contrast brightness of ship tracks, that is, the relative change in observed solar reflectance, in visible and near-infrared imagery can be explained by the microphysics of ...

Abstract: The 1-km advanced very high resolution radiometer observations from the morning, NOAA-12, and afternoon, NOAA-11, satellite passes over the coast of California during June 1994 are used to determine the altitudes, visible ...

Abstract: Anomalously high reflectivity tracks in stratus and stratocumulus sheets associated with ships (known as ship tracks) are commonly seen in visible and near-infrared satellite imagery. Until now there have been only a limited ...

Abstract: The international experiment called the European Aqua Thermodynamic Experiment (EAQUATE) was held in September 2004 in Italy and the United Kingdom to validate Aqua satellite Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) radiance ...

Abstract: he Diabatic Influences on Mesoscale Structures in Extratropical Storms (DIAMET) project aims to improve forecasts of high-impact weather in extratropical cyclones through field measurements, high-resolution numerical ...
