RISPhysical Characteristics of Arctic Stratus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the physical properties of Arctic status clouds (ASC) over the Beaufort Sea area were made by the NCAR Electra aircraft during June 1980. The cloud morphology and microstructure observed during these ...
Radiative Energy Budget in the Cloudy and Hazy Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A radiation model is constructed that includes radiative interactions with atmospheric gases as well as parameterized treatments of scattering and absorption/emission by cloud droplets and haze particles. A unified treatment ...
Effects of Tunable Data Compression on Geophysical Products Retrieved from Surface Radar Observations with Applications to Spaceborne Meteorological Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents results and analyses of applying an international space data compression standard to weather radar measurements that can easily span eight orders of magnitude and typically require a large storage capacity ...
The Relevance of the Microphysical and Radiative Properties of Cirrus Clouds to Climate and Climatic Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the effects of the relationship between cirrus cloud ice water content and cloud temperature on climate change. A simple mechanistic climate model is used to study the feedback between ice water content ...
Spectral Reflectance and Atmospheric Energetics in Cirrus-like Clouds. Part II: Applications of a Fourier-Riccati Approach to Radiative Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the major sources of uncertainty in climate studies is the detection of cirrus clouds and characterization of their radiative properties. Combinations of water vapor absorption channels (e.g., 1.38 µm), ice-water ...
Parameterization for Cloud Longwave Scattering for Use in Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for the scattering of thermal infrared (longwave) radiation by clouds has been developed based on discrete-ordinate multiple-scattering calculations. The effect of backscattering is folded into the ...
Cloud Detection over the Arctic Region Using Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Data during the Daytime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detection of clouds over arctic regions from current satellite radiometric measurements in the visible and IR atmospheric window regions, such as those of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and Landsat, is often ...
Parameterization for Cloud Longwave Scattering for Use in Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for the scattering of thermal infrared (longwave) radiation by clouds has been developed based on discrete-ordinate multiple-scattering calculations. The effect of backscattering is folded into the ...
A Report of the Field Operations and Early Results of the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) is an international field experiment with the objective to better understand the key physical processes for the onset and evolution of the summer monsoon over Southeast Asia ...
Airborne Scanning Spectrometer for Remote Sensing of Cloud, Aerosol, Water Vapor, and Surface Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An airborne scanning spectrometer was developed for measuring reflected solar and emitted thermal radiation in 50 narrowband channels between 0.55 and 14.2 µm. The instrument provides multispectral images of outgoing ...
