The Retrieval of Ice-Cloud Properties from Cloud Radar and Lidar Synergy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds are an important component of the earth?s climate system. A better description of their microphysical properties is needed to improve radiative transfer calculations. In the framework of the Earth, Clouds, Aerosols, ...
Independent Evaluation of the Ability of Spaceborne Radar and Lidar to Retrieve the Microphysical and Radiative Properties of Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The combination of radar and lidar in space offers the unique potential to retrieve vertical profiles of ice water content and particle size globally, and two algorithms developed recently claim to have overcome the principal ...
