Cloud Base Height Estimation Using a Low-cost Digital Camera
Cloud height, wind speed and direction at cloud height play an important role in air safety. This paper presents a low-cost system based on digital consumer cameras to estimate cloud base height. It is shown that both wind speed and direction at cloud level can also be obtained with this system. The method is based on triangulation and uses image registration to identify common cloud features...
متن کاملMultifractality of Cloud Base Height Profiles
Cloud base height profiles measured with laser ceilometer are studied using multifractal approach. The irregular structure of the signals is a benchmark for nonlinear dynamical processes. A hierarchy of generalized dimensions determines the intermittency of the signal. The multi-affine properties are described by the h(γ) function.
متن کاملCloud Phase Determination Using Ground-Based AERI Observations at SHEBA
A new technique for ascertaining the thermodynamic cloud phase from high-spectral-resolution ground-based infrared measurements made by the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) is presented. This technique takes advantage of the differences in the index of refraction of ice and water between 11 and 19 mm. The differences in the refractive indices translate into differences in clou...
متن کاملObservations of ground-state OH in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We have carried out a series of observations of the 1665and 1667-MHz transitions of the Π3/2, J=3/2 OH ground state towards six selected HII regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (IRAS 05011-6815 and MRC 0510-689, 0513-694B, 0539-691, 0540-696B, 0540697A) using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The study has provided the first accurate positions for known 1665and 1667-MHz OH masers as well...
متن کاملGlobal Distribution of Cloud Top Height as Retrieved from SCIAMACHY Onboard ENVISAT Spaceborne Observations
The spatial and temporal analysis of the SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) onboard ENVISAT global cloud top height data for 2003–2006 is presented. The cloud top height is derived using a semi-analytical cloud top height retrieval algorithm based on an asymptotic solution of the radiative transfer equation in the oxygen A-band. The analysis is val...
