Remote Sensing of Cloud and Precipitation of Warm Clouds by Passive and Active Sensors aboard A-train Satellite
Though warm rain from low-level liquid clouds contributes significantly to the global precipitation and water cycle, it has been missed or underestimated by satellite remote sensing techniques. IR techniques miss all warm rain because they rely on cloud top temperature. Over land, passive microwave techniques miss all warm rain because they rely on ice scattering at high frequency channel. Over...
متن کاملNew Method for Retrieving Liquid Water Path over Land Using Amsr-e Observations
Measurements of cloud liquid water properties are important in a wide range of disciplines including climate change, numerical weather prediction (NWP) and aircraft icing. A variety of remote sensing techniques have been developed to address this need, including both visible/infrared and microwave methods. Unlike visible and infrared radiation, microwaves with frequencies of 90 GHz and less are...
متن کاملPassive ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric temperature, water vapor, and cloud liquid water profiles by a frequency synthesized microwave radiometer
Summar . An advanced microwave radiometer for profiling atmospheric parameters is described in this paper. The method accomplishing profiling is described. The innovations of the radiometer system, including utilization of a stable frequency synthesizer and the calibration system are described. The performance of several mathematical retrieval methods and representative profiles are presented, ...
متن کاملCloud properties and radiative forcing over the maritime storm tracks of the Southern Ocean and North Atlantic derived from ATrain
[1] Annually averaged cloud properties, cloud radiative effects, and cloud radiative heating from 20° × 20° latitude‐longitude regions in the Southern Ocean (50°S, 135°W) and the North Atlantic (55°N, 25°W) are compared using quantities derived from measurements collected by active and passive remote sensors in the NASA A‐Train. The algorithm suite used to infer cloud properties along the nadir...
متن کاملFirst measurements of the Twomey indirect effect using ground-based remote sensors
[1] We demonstrate first measurements of the aerosol indirect effect using ground-based remote sensors at a continental US site. The response of nonprecipitating, icefree clouds to changes in aerosol loading is quantified in terms of a relative change in cloud-drop effective radius for a relative change in aerosol extinction under conditions of equivalent cloud liquid water path. This is done i...
