Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer Measurements
This particular site and time of year was chosen by ARM because it offers a high probability of clearsky, and also a wide range of integrated water vapor amounts. To supplement the routine observing capabilities during the WVIOP2000, a powerful array of tools for measuring water vapor was deployed at the SGP Central Facility area. A comprehensive suite of airborne in situ and ground-based remote
متن کاملRetrieval of Mixing Height by Multichannel Microwave Radiometer Observations
The mixing layer height (MLH) defines the top of the layer near the surface where turbulent mixing is occurring. In the recent years, new algorithms have been developed for estimating MLH, though the automatic detection of the top of the mixing layer still remains challenging. For example, when the MLH is estimated from lidar data, the lidar overlap limit may mask the early growth of the mixing...
متن کاملReprint 890 Application of a Ground-based Microwave Radiometer in Cloud Observations
The use of cloud-base height data obtained from a groundbased microwave radiometer in the estimation of total cloud amount has been studied by Chan and Li (2009). The present paper extends the study by considering the performance of the total cloud amount estimation algorithm in different seasons and different years. It is found that the algorithm works generally well in different periods by co...
متن کاملEvaluation of Statistical Retrieval Errors for Ground Based Microwave Radiometer Measurements
Dual frequency ground based microwave radiometers (MWR) are widely used to measure precipitable water vapor (PWV) and integrated cloud liquid water (ICL). In the statistical retrieval method, where the relationship between measured brightness temperature (Tb) and opacity ( ) is used, an accurate statistical retrieval algorithm is required. These algorithms include a set of input parameters whos...
متن کاملPlanet Sensitivity from Combined Ground- and Space-based Microlensing Observations
To move one step forward toward a Galactic distribution of planets, we present the first planet sensitivity analysis for microlensing events with simultaneous observations from space and the ground. We present this analysis for two such events, OGLE-2014-BLG-0939 and OGLE-2014-BLG-0124, which both show substantial planet sensitivity even though neither of them reached high magnification. This s...
