Sunphotometric Measurement of Columnar H2O and Aerosol Optical Depth During the 3rd Water Vapor IOP in Fall 2000 at the SGP ARM Site
نویسنده
چکیده
For this deployment, our primary result was columnar water vapor (CWV) obtained from continuous solar transmittance measurements in the 0.94-micron band. In addition, we simultaneously measured aerosol optical depth (AOD) at λ = 380, 450, 525, 864, and 1020 nm. During the intensive operational period (IOP), preliminary results of CWV and AOD were displayed in real time. The result files were made available to other investigators by noon of the next day.

Enhancement of Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Surface Meteorological Observations During the Fall 1996 Water Vapor Intensive Observation Period
This work describes in situ moisture sensor comparisons performed in conjunction with the first Water Vapor (WV) Intensive Observation Period (IOP) conducted at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Southern Great Plains (SGP) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site during September of 1996. Numerous remote sensing instruments (e.g., two Raman Lidar, two Atmospheric Emitted Radian...
متن کاملRaman lidar profiling of aerosols over the central U.S.; diurnal variability and comparisons with the GOCART model
We use profiles of aerosol extinction, water vapor mixing ratio, and relative humidity measured by the ARM SGP Raman lidar in northern Oklahoma to show how the vertical distributions of aerosol extinction and water vapor vary throughout the diurnal cycle. While significant (20-30%) variations in aerosol extinction occurred near the surface as well as aloft, smaller (~10%) variations were observ...

متن کاملComparison between lidar and nephelometer measurements of aerosol hygroscopicity at the Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Radiation Measurement site
[1] Aerosol hygroscopicity has a significant effect on radiative properties of aerosols. Here a lidar method, applicable to cloud-capped, well-mixed atmospheric boundary layers, is employed to determine the hygroscopic growth factor f(RH) under unperturbed, ambient atmospheric conditions. The data used for the analysis were collected under a wide range of atmospheric aerosol levels during both ...
متن کاملComparison of aerosol optical depth inferred from surface measurements with that determined by Sun photometry for cloudfree conditions at a continental U.S. site
Evaluation of the forcing of climate by aerosol scattering of shortwave radiation in cloud-free conditions (direct aerosol forcing) requires knowledge of aerosol optical properties on relevant spatial and temporal scales. It is convenient to measure these properties at the surface. However, before these measurements can be used to quantitatively estimate direct climate forcing, it is necessary ...
