Comparison of In-situ Balloon-borne and Lidar Measurement of Cirrus Clouds
A series of in-situ balloon-borne experiments conducted at Kiruna, Sweden (68 °N), is studying uppertropospheric, cold ice clouds in arctic latitudes. Experiments are launched from Esrange Space Center and collect ice particles with an in-situ imaging instrument. One of the aims with these measurements is to improve satellite remote sensing of cold ice clouds. Such clouds can be observed by lid...
متن کاملIn Situ Balloon-Borne Ice Particle Imaging in High-Latitude Cirrus
Cirrus clouds reflect incoming solar radiation, creating a cooling effect. At the same time, these clouds absorb the infrared radiation from the Earth, creating a greenhouse effect. The net effect, crucial for radiative transfer, depends on the cirrus microphysical properties, such as particle size distributions and particle shapes. Knowledge of these cloud properties is also needed for calibra...
متن کاملConvective generation of cirrus near the tropopause
[1] During the July 2002 CRYSTAL-FACE field program based from Key West, Florida, aircraft measurements showed that long-lived thin tropopause cirrus (TTC) layers were often present above thunderstorm anvils. This paper describes these clouds and explores their possible origins. Measurements showed that the horizontal dimensions of TTC layers were nearly identical to convectively formed anvils ...
متن کاملBalloon - Borne Radio Altimeter
This work describes an accurate pulse radar altimeter which is simple and light enough to be carried aloft by a regular sounding balloon. The altimeter uses a single superregenerative stage serving as both the receiver and the transmitter. This stage is used in a feedback system in such a way that the period between transmitted pulses is a measure of altitude. The relatively slow rate of change...
متن کاملHelioseismic Estimation of Convective Overshoot in the Sun
By using the periodic signal present in the frequencies of oscillation due to the base of the solar convection zone, Monteiro, Christensen-Dalsgaard & Thompson (1994) gave an upper limit to the extent of a layer of convective overshooting in the Sun. Alternative studies (Roxburgh & Vorontsov, 1994) have suggested that it may not be possible to do so since the amplitude of the signal does not va...
