Initial Cloud Detection Using the EOF Components of High-Spectral-Resolution Infrared Sounder Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measured cloud spectral signatures in high-resolution infrared interferometer data have been separated from the clear-air signatures using singular value decomposition. Sets of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) have ...
Effects of Aerosols on the Radiative Properties of Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of anthropogenic aerosols, in the form of ship exhaust effluent, on the microphysics and radiative properties of marine stratocumulus is studied using data gathered from the U.K. Met. Office C-130 and the ...
Effects of Aerosols on Cloud Albedo: Evaluation of Twomey’s Parameterization of Cloud Susceptibility Using Measurements of Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements from the Meteorological Research Flight?s Hercules C-130 and the University of Washington?s Convair C-131A during the Monterey Area Ship Track field project are used to evaluate Twomey?s analytic ...
Drizzle Suppression in Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although drizzle was a relatively infrequent occurrence during the Monterey Area Ship Track study, diverse measurements from several sources produced data signals consistent with a reduction in drizzle drops in stratus ...
A Case Study of Ship Track Formation in a Polluted Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of the effects of ship emissions on the microphysical, radiative, and chemical properties of polluted marine boundary layer clouds is presented. Two ship tracks are discussed in detail. In situ measurements ...
A Case Study of Ships Forming and Not Forming Tracks in Moderately Polluted Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of anthropogenic particulate emissions from ships on the radiative, microphysical, and chemical properties of moderately polluted marine stratiform clouds are examined. A case study of two ships in the same air ...
Hyperspectral Earth Observation from IASI: Five Years of Accomplishments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: red Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) forms the main infrared sounding component of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites's (EUMETSAT's) Meteorological Operation (MetOp)-A ...
The Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE): Investigating the Origins of Heavy Precipitation in the Southwestern United Kingdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) was a joint U.K.?U.S. field campaign held during the summer of 2013 in the southwest peninsula of England, designed to study convective clouds that produce heavy rain leading ...
