Parameterization of Drop Effective Radius for Drizzling Marine Stratus in Global Circulation Models
The cloud drop effective radius, Re, is one of the most important parameters in calculations of cloud radiative properties. Numerous formulations of the effective radius have been developed for use in numerical models (see, e.g., review in Gultepe et al. 1996); however, to the best of our knowledge, they all were designed for non-drizzling clouds. The objective of this paper is to derive a para...
متن کاملAirborne Radar Observations of Non-drizzling Marine Stratocumulus
As part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus-II (DYCOMS-II) experiment in July 2001, nighttime observations were made in the vicinity of 31°N latitude and 122°W longitude. Main features of the study are given by Stevens et al, 2003. Observations were made with the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft carrying cloud physics probes, aerosol and trace gas (O3, DMS) instrumentation, the SABL li...
متن کاملSimulations of marine stratocumulus using a new microphysical parameterization scheme
A new microphysical scheme that uses lognormal basis functions to represent cloud and drizzle Ž . drop spectra is presented. The scheme is incorporated in a two-dimensional 2-D eddy-resolving model and applied to the simulation of a stratocumulus cloud deck based on a sounding from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment. Firstly, the philosophy behind the design of the scheme is discu...
متن کاملSpatial Variability of Satellite-retrieved Optical Depth and Effective Radius in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Several studies have shown that satellite-based passive remote sensing can provide information on τ , the cloud optical thickness (related to the extinction of the direct solar beam), reff , the surface area-weighted mean radius (or effective radius) and the vertically-integrated liquid water path ( (see, e.g. Han et al., 1994; Nakajima and Nakajima, 1995; Platnick and Valero, 1995; Han et al.,...
متن کاملThe Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE): Aerosolcloud relationships in marine stratocumulus
[1] The Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE) field campaign was undertaken in July 2005 off the coast of Monterey, California to evaluate aerosol-cloud relationships in the climatically important regime of eastern Pacific marine stratocumulus. Aerosol and cloud properties were measured onboard the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) Twin Otter aircr...
