| description abstract | Images of integrated cloud liquid water derived from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program polar-orbiting satellite are presented. Examples with infrared and visible images and synoptic charts are shown for the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea for March 1992. The SSM/I images often show detailed, low-level cloud circulations not suggested by infrared satellite images. A prototype system for forecasting the potential for aircraft icing, which combines the SSM/I cloud liquid water parameter with numerical model output, is also presented. Where integrated cloud liquid water exceeds a specific threshold, an icing watch region is specified. The top of the icing watch layer is set to the model ?20°C level or infrared cloud top, whichever is lower. The base of the icing watch layer is set to the 0°C level from model output. No watch areas are specified where the infrared cloud top temperature is above freezing, regardless of integrated cloud liquid water amount. | |
