Abstract: This study explores the utilization of both infrared and microwave sounding channels for the inference of the high and low cloud parameters. The necessary parameterized equations for infrared and microwave radiative transfer ...

Abstract: An inversion method is applied to the remote sensing of atmospheric temperature profiles in the presence of clouds. The method simultaneously calculates cloud-top pressure, amount and spectral emissivity, along with the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional cloud model, radiative transfer model-based simulation system is tested and validated against the aircraft-based radiance observations of an intense convective system in southeastern Virginia on 29 June ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional cloud model-microwave radiative transfer model combination is used to study the relations among the precipitation and other microphysical characteristics of a tropical oceanic squall line and the upwelling ...

Abstract: In Part II of the 29 June 1986 case study, a radiative transfer model is used to simulate the aircraft multichannel microwave brightness temperatures presented in Part I and to study the convective storm structure. ...
