Abstract: Cloud droplet size distributions in the radius range from 0.1 to 15 µm have been investigated by remote sensing techniques. It was found that there is a large proportion of small droplets with radii <4 µm. The evolution ...

Abstract: Representative average values of the absorption to backscatter ratio of the aerosols in two typical synoptic conditions, namely cloudless khamsinic days and normal cloudless days, have been deduced from four years of data ...

Abstract: A real-time quality control for surface observations has been developed and tested in the Israel Meteorological Service. Error sources specific to real-time work have been defined and special procedures to deal with them ...

Abstract: The impact of satellite sounding data on the systematic errors of the numerical weather prediction model of the Israel Meteorological Service has been investigated. In general, satellite data have been shown to reduce ...
