Profiles 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 کاملVertical profiles of aerosol volume from high-spectral-resolution infrared transmission measurements. I. Methodology.
The wavelength-dependent aerosol extinction in the 800-1250-cm(-1) region has been derived from ATMOS (atmospheric trace molecule spectroscopy) high-spectral-resolution IR transmission measurements. Using models of aerosol and cloud extinction, we have performed weighted nonlinear least-squares fitting to determine the aerosol-volume columns and vertical profiles of stratospheric sulfate aeroso...
متن کاملComparison of Stratus Cloud Optical Depths Retrieved from Surface and GOES Measurements over the ARM SGP Central Facility
The climatic importance of the microphysical and radiative properties of clouds, particularly cloud droplet effective radii (re), optical depths (τ), and albedos are widely recognized. For reliable application of satellite datasets in cloud process and single column models, it is important to have a reasonable estimate of the errors in the derived cloud properties. When properly used, ground-ba...
