RISUncertainty in observational estimates of the aerosol direct radiative effect and forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A lower-bound on the uncertainty in observational estimates of the aerosol direct radiative effect (DRE, the direct interaction with solar radiation by all aerosols), and the aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF, the ...
Corrigendum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n error in a recent analysis of the sensitivity of retrievals of Cloud?Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) particulate optical properties to errors in various input parameters is described. This error was ...
The Retrieval of Profiles of Particulate Extinction from Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Data: Uncertainty and Error Sensitivity Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rofiles of atmospheric cloud and aerosol extinction coefficients are retrieved on a global scale from measurements made by the lidar on board the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) ...
Mesoscale Variations of Tropospheric Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropospheric aerosols are calculated to cause global-scale changes in the earth's heat balance, but these forcings are space/time integrals over highly variable quantities. Accurate quantification of these forcings will ...
Regional Apparent Boundary Layer Lapse Rates Determined from CALIPSO and MODIS Data for Cloud-Height Determination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eliably determining low-cloud heights using a cloud-top temperature from satellite infrared imagery is often challenging because of difficulties in characterizing the local thermal structure of the lower troposphere with ...
CALIPSO Lidar Description and Performance Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides background material for a collection of Cloud?Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) algorithm papers that are to be published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology. It ...
The CALIPSO Lidar Cloud and Aerosol Discrimination: Version 2 Algorithm and Initial Assessment of Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite was launched in April 2006 to provide global vertically resolved measurements of clouds and aerosols. Correct discrimination between ...
CloudSat and CALIPSO within the A-Train: Ten Years of Actively Observing the Earth System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOne of the most successful demonstrations of an integrated approach to observe Earth from multiple perspectives is the A-Train satellite constellation. The science enabled by this constellation flourished with the ...
Effect of Cavities on the Optical Properties of Bullet Rosettes: Implications for Active and Passive Remote Sensing of Ice Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bullet rosette particles are common in ice clouds, and the bullets may often be hollow. Here the single-scattering properties of randomly oriented hollow bullet rosette ice particles are investigated. A bullet, which is ...
Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarization lidar that performs global profiling of aerosols and clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. CALIOP is the primary ...
