Dry Bias and Variability in Vaisala RS80-H Radiosondes: The ARM Experience
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thousands of comparisons between total precipitable water vapor (PWV) obtained from radiosonde (Vaisala RS80-H) profiles and PWV retrieved from a collocated microwave radiometer (MWR) were made at the Atmospheric Radiation ...
Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer. Part II: Instrument Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) instrument was developed for the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program by the University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering ...
The QME AERI LBLRTM: A Closure Experiment for Downwelling High Spectral Resolution Infrared Radiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has led to significant improvements in longwave radiative transfer modeling over the last decade. These improvements, which ...
Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer. Part I: Instrument Design
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A ground-based Fourier transform spectrometer has been developed to measure the atmospheric downwelling infrared radiance spectrum at the earth's surface with high absolute accuracy. The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance ...
Characterization of Upper-Troposphere Water Vapor Measurements during AFWEX Using LASE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor mass mixing ratio profiles from NASA's Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) system acquired during the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)?First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project ...
An Intercomparison of Radiation Codes for Retrieving Upper–Tropospheric Humidity in the 6.3–mm Band: A Report from the First GVaP Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An intercomparison of radiation codes used in retrieving upper?tropospheric humidity (UTH) from observations in the n2 (6.3 mm) water vapor absorption band was performed. This intercomparison is one part of a coordinated ...
The Global Space-Based Inter-Calibration System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: l Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) is a new international program to assure the comparability of satellite measurements taken at different times and locations by different instruments operated by different ...
The Arm Program's Water Vapor Intensive Observation Periods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of water vapor intensive observation periods (WVIOPs) were conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site in Oklahoma between 1996 and 2000. The goals of these WVIOPs are to characterize the accuracy ...
The Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (M-PACE) was conducted from 27 September through 22 October 2004 over the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF) on the North ...
Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: te Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission will provide a calibration laboratory in orbit for the purpose of accurately measuring and attributing climate change. CLARREO measurements establish new ...
