RISStatistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part V: Relationships between Physical Properties of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Relationships between physical properties are studied for three types of marine boundary layer cloud objects identified with the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) footprint data from the Tropical Rainfall ...
Statistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part IV: Boundary Layer Cloud Objects during 1998 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three boundary layer cloud object types?overcast, stratocumulus, and cumulus?that occurred over the Pacific Ocean during January?August 1998 are identified from the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) ...
Diurnal Variations of Albedo Retrieved from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ive years of measurements from the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) have been analyzed to define the diurnal cycle of albedo from 55°N to 55°S. The ERBS precesses through all local times every 72 days so as to provide ...
Cloud and Radiative Characteristics of Tropical Deep Convective Systems in Extended Cloud Objects from CERES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical and radiative properties of tropical deep convective systems for the period from January to August 1998 are examined with the use of Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System Single-Scanner Footprint (SSF) ...

Examination of the Decadal Tropical Mean ERBS Nonscanner Radiation Data for the Iris Hypothesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent studies of the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) nonscanner radiation data indicate decadal changes in tropical cloudiness and unexpected radiative anomalies between the 1980s and 1990s. In this study, the ...
A Bayesian Approach to Microwave Precipitation Profile Retrieval
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multichannel passive microwave precipitation retrieval algorithm is developed. Bayes theorem is used to combine statistical information from numerical cloud models with forward radiative transfer modeling. Amultivariate ...
An Estimate of Low-Cloud Feedbacks from Variations of Cloud Radiative and Physical Properties with Sea Surface Temperature on Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of climate change have yet to reach a consensus on the sign and magnitude of the changes in physical properties of marine boundary layer clouds. In this study, the authors analyze how cloud and radiative ...
Validation of the CERES/TRMM ERBE-Like Monthly Mean Clear-Sky Longwave Dataset and the Effects of the 1998 ENSO Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration space-borne measurement project for monitoring the radiation environment of the earth?atmosphere system. The ...
Comparison of the Diurnal Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from a Climate Model with Results from ERBE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) computed by a climate model provides a powerful test of the numerical description of various physical processes. Diurnal cycles of OLR computed by version 3 of the ...
