Ice Cloud Optical Thickness and Extinction Estimates from Radar Measurements
A remote sensing method is proposed to derive vertical profiles of the visible extinction coefficients in ice clouds from measurements of the radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity taken by a vertically pointing 35-GHz cloud radar. The extinction coefficient and its vertical integral, optical thickness t, are among the fundamental cloud optical parameters that, to a large extent, determine the...
متن کاملParameterizing Ice Cloud Inhomogeneity and the Overlap of Inhomogeneities Using Cloud Radar Data
Cloud variability on scales smaller than the gridbox size of numerical forecast and climate models is believed to be important in determining the radiative effects of clouds, and increasingly attempts are being made to parameterize these fluctuations in the radiation schemes of current models. In order to calculate the radiative effects of an inhomogeneous cloud, a model needs to know not only ...
متن کاملCloud Microphysical Properties Retrieved from Rapid-Sample AERI Data
The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) measures downwelling infrared radiance from 550-3000 cm (18.2 – 3.3 μm) at high-spectral-resolution (~ 1 cm) (Knuteson et al. 2004). The original temporal sampling strategy (a 3-min average of sky radiance every 8 min) was chosen to optimize the signal-to-noise in the observations for clear sky applications. Clear-sky AERI observations have...
متن کامل6a.5 Extraction of Cloud Parameters Using Multipeak Analysis of Cloud Radar Data
The Ka-band radars are particularly suited for cloud droplets and small rain drop regime measurements, by their capability to penetrate through rainand snow-falls and to detect small hydrometeors. Traditionally three moments of Doppler spectra are used as basis to retrieve microphysical cloud parameters, e. g. characteristic particle size (Gossard, 1997), liquid water content (Liao, 1994) and t...
متن کاملIce cloud detection from AMSU-A, MHS, and HIRS satelliteinstruments inferred by cloud profiling radar
Ice cloud detection from AMSU-A, MHS, and HIRS satellite instruments inferred by cloud profiling radar" (2014). NASA Publications. Paper 175. An algorithm for ice cloud detection aided by support vector machine (AID-SVM) is presented. The AID-SVM algorithm is applied and tested for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A, microwave humidity sounder (MHS), and high resolution infrared radiation s...
