The Relationship between Rain and Cloud Water as Observed from the A-train
Shallow maritime clouds are critical to regulating the climate of the Earth. Due to their warm cloud top temperatures and extensive horizontal coverage they have a larger net radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere than any other cloud type. In addition to playing a critical role in determining the radiative energy balance at the top of the atmosphere, they are also highly susceptible to ...
متن کاملObserved Southern Ocean Cloud Properties and Shortwave Reflection. Part I: Calculation of SW Flux from Observed Cloud Properties*
The sensitivity of the reflection of shortwave radiation over the Southern Ocean to the cloud properties there is estimated using observations from a suite of passive and active satellite instruments in combination with radiative transfer modeling. A composite cloud property observational data description is constructed that consistently incorporates mean cloud liquid water content, ice water c...
متن کاملWind Power at Sea as Observed from Space
With the increasing demand of electric power and the need of reducing greenhouse gas emission, the importance of turning wind energy at sea into electric power has never been more evident. For example, China is vigorously studying and pursuing the potential of wind energy to lessen dependence of coal consumption (McElroy et al., 2009). The White Paper on Energy (DTI, 2007) lays out an ambitious...
متن کاملClimate trends in the Arctic as observed from space
The Arctic is a region in transformation. Warming in the region has been amplified, as expected from ice-albedo feedback effects, with the rate of warming observed to be ∼0.60 ± 0.07°C/decade in the Arctic (>64°N) compared to ∼0.17°C/decade globally during the last three decades. This increase in surface temperature is manifested in all components of the cryosphere. In particular, the sea ice e...
متن کاملModelling of Lightning Discharge Patterns as Observed from Space
Thunderstorms are an integral component in the Earth's atmospheric system and have profound influence on a variety of industries. Specifically, the occurrence of lightning discharges has many negative effects, including disturbances on power lines, the commencement of forest fires and the delay of aircraft missions. Consequently, modelling the patterns of lightning discharges is intended to pro...
