RISObservation of Lower-Atmospheric Moisture Structure and its Evolution Using a Raman Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the water-vapor mixing ratio in the lower atmosphere and its temporal evolution have been made with a Raman lidar. Comparison with an independent radiosonde measurement indicated excellent agreement. The ...
Observation of Atmospheric Fronts Using Raman Lidar Moisture Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a field program using a ground-based Raman lidar system to observe changes in moisture profiles as a cold and a warm front passed over the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, ...
A Case Study of Mid-Atlantic Nocturnal Boundary Layer Events during WAVES 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Water Vapor Variability-Satellite/Sondes (WAVES) 2006 field campaign provided a contiguous 5-day period of concentrated high-resolution measurements to examine finescale boundary layer phenomena under the influence of ...
Demonstration of Aerosol Property Profiling by Multiwavelength Lidar under Varying Relative Humidity Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The feasibility of using a multiwavelength Mie?Raman lidar based on a tripled Nd:YAG laser for profiling aerosol physical parameters in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) under varying conditions of relative humidity (RH) ...
Structure of an Internal Bore and Dissipating Gravity Current as Revealed by Raman Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed moisture observations from a ground-based Raman lidar and special radiosonde data of two disturbances associated with a dissipating gust front are presented. A synthesis of the lidar data with conventional ...
A Comparison of Water Vapor Measurements Made by Raman Lidar and Radiosondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the calibration characteristics of the NASA/GSFC Raman water vapor lidar during three field experiments that occurred between 1991 and 1993. The lidar water vapor profiles are calibrated using relative ...
The Cold Front of 15 April 1994 over the Central United States. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed observations of the interactions of a cold front and a dryline over the central United States that led to dramatic undulations in the boundary layer, including an undular bore, are investigated using high-resolution ...
Water Vapor Measurements by Howard University Raman Lidar during the WAVES 2006 Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor mixing ratio retrieval using the Howard University Raman lidar is presented with emphasis on three aspects: (i) comparison of the lidar with collocated radiosondes and Raman lidar, (ii) investigation of the ...
Raman Lidar Measurements during the International H2O Project. Part II: Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NASA GSFC Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL) participated in the International H2O Project (IHOP) that occurred in May and June 2002 in the midwestern part of the United States. The SRL system configuration and methods of data ...
