Physically based two-moment bulkwater parametrization for warm-cloud microphysics
A two-moment bulkwater parametrization scheme for warm-cloud microphysics is developed via statistical analyses of results from a detailed parcel model. This computationally ef cient scheme is quite accurate and produces bulkwater properties which resemble the results from a fully explicit microphysical model. It responds sensitively to the effect of aerosol types on the cloud drop number conc...
متن کاملThe interdependence of continental warm cloud properties derived from unexploited solar background signals in ground-based lidar measurements
We have extensively analysed the interdependence between cloud optical depth, droplet effective radius, liquid water path (LWP) and geometric thickness for stratiform warm clouds using ground-based observations. In particular, this analysis uses cloud optical depths retrieved from untapped solar background signals that are previously unwanted and need to be removed in most lidar applications. C...
متن کاملCloud Microphysics Retrieval Using S-Band Dual-Polarization Radar Measurements
The recent deployment of multiparameter, polarimetric radars provides the impetus for development of microphysical retrievals. The primary objective of this paper is to describe a particle classification technique that makes use of polarimetric radar observations. The particle classification technique is computationally simple enough to be implemented for real-time research and operational fiel...
متن کاملProfiles of Low-Level Stratus Cloud Microphysics Deduced from Ground-Based Measurements
The microwave radiometer–derived cloud liquid water path (LWP) and a profile of radar reflectivity are used to derive a profile of cloud liquid water content (LWC). Two methods (M1 and M2) have been developed for inferring the profile of cloud-droplet effective radius (re) in liquid phase or liquid dominant mixed phase stratocumulus clouds. The M1-inferred re profile is proportional to a previo...
متن کاملGround-Based Cirrus Observation in the Japanese Cloud and Climate Study: A Sonde System for Radiation and Cloud Microphysics Measurement
Clouds play a crucial role in radiative energy budget and water cycle in the earth-atmosphere system. In order to understand processes such as global warming and to improve assessment of climate change, it is necessary to develop climate models which properly take into account radiation and cloud processes. In addition, it is also important to improve satellite monitoring systems for measuring ...
