RISOptical Properties and Phase of Some Midlatitude, Midlevel Clouds in ECLIPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several cloud optical quantities were measured for the first time in midlevel, mixed-phase clouds. These included cloud infrared emittance and absorption coefficient (10?12 ?m), effective backscatter-to-extinction ratio, ...
LIRAD Observations of Tropical Cirrus Clouds in MCTEX. Part II: Optical Properties and Base Cooling in Dissipating Storm Anvil Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX), several decaying storm anvils were observed. The anvil clouds exhibited typical patterns of fallout and decay over a number of hours of observation. The anvil ...
LIRAD Observations of Tropical Cirrus Clouds in MCTEX. Part I: Optical Properties and Detection of Small Particles in Cold Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents further results on the optical properties of tropical and equatorial cirrus using the light detecting and ranging (lidar) radiometer (LIRAD) method. The results were obtained from observations in the ...
Reconciling Ground-Based and Space-Based Estimates of the Frequency of Occurrence and Radiative Effect of Clouds around Darwin, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of this paper is to investigate whether estimates of the cloud frequency of occurrence and associated cloud radiative forcing as derived from ground-based and satellite active remote sensing and radiative ...
The Optical Properties of Equatorial Cirrus from Observations in the ARM Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The optical properties of equatorial cirrus were studied during a three-week period of the ARM Pilot Radiation and Observation Experiment at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea, in January and February 1993. The experiment consisted ...
The Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study (ECLIPS) for Cloud—Radiation Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study (ECLIPS) was initiated to obtain statistics on cloud-base height, extinction, optical depth, cloud brokenness, and surface fluxes. Two observational phases have taken place, in ...
