Simulations of Infrared Radiances over a Deep Convective Cloud System Observed during TC4: Potential for Enhancing Nocturnal Ice Cloud Retrievals
Retrievals of ice cloud properties using infrared measurements at 3.7, 6.7, 7.3, 8.5, 10.8, and 12.0 μm can provide consistent results regardless of solar illumination, but OPEN ACCESS Remote Sens. 2012, 4 3023 are limited to cloud optical thicknesses τ < ~6. This paper investigates the variations in radiances at these wavelengths over a deep convective cloud system for their potential to exten...
متن کاملQuantifying uncertainties of cloud microphysical property retrievals with a perturbation method
Quantifying the uncertainty of cloud retrievals is an emerging topic important for both cloud process studies and modeling studies. This paper presents a general approach to estimate uncertainties in ground-based retrievals of cloud properties. This approach, called the perturbation method, quantifies the cloud retrieval uncertainties by perturbing the cloud retrieval influential factors (like ...
متن کاملThe impact of Cloud Computing in the banking industry resources
Today, one of the biggest problems that gripped the banking sphere, the high cost of implementing advanced technologies and the efficient use of the hardware. Cloud computing is the use of shared services on the Internet provides a large role in developing the banking system, without the need for operating expenses including staffing, equipment, hardware and software Reducing the cost of implem...
متن کاملJoint retrievals of cloud and drizzle in marine boundary layer clouds using ground-based radar, lidar and zenith radiances
Active remote sensing of marine boundary-layer clouds is challenging as drizzle drops often dominate the observed radar reflectivity. We present a new method to simultaneously retrieve cloud and drizzle vertical profiles in drizzling boundary-layer clouds using surface-based observations of radar reflectivity, lidar attenuated backscatter, and zenith radiances under conditions when precipitatio...
