متن کاملOn the angular radiance closure of tropical cumulus congestus clouds observed by the Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer
[1] Monte Carlo reflectance simulations of three tropical cumulus congestus clouds reconstructed from Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) data are compared to the domain-averaged MISR reflectance measurements. The goal of the comparison is to evaluate the nadir-view pixel cloud optical depth retrievals derived using plane-parallel radiative transfer theory, and the assumptions for verti...
متن کاملA large-eddy simulation study of cumulus clouds over land and sensitivity to soil moisture
A series of large-eddy simulations (LES) of non-precipitating cumulus clouds over land was performed. These simulations were idealized from observed conditions at the Southern Great Plains ARM site on 21 June 1997 and were intended to investigate the effect of initial soil moisture on the structure of the cloudy boundary layer. The surface fluxes were either dominated by latent heat or sensible...
متن کاملAdaptive sampling of cumulus clouds with UAVs
This paper presents an approach to guide a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to actively gather data in low-altitude cumulus clouds with the aim of mapping atmospheric variables. Building on-line maps based on very sparse local measurements is the first challenge to overcome, for which an approach based on Gaussian Processes is proposed. A particular attention is given to the on-line hyperparam...
متن کاملCS6204: Cumulus, Nimbus, Cumulonimbus – Choosing Between Clouds
Cloud computing is a multi-billion business, with more than 100 cloud service providers [1] vying for supremacy. Businesses are overwhelmed with choices and tradeoffs. In this paper we offer a qualitative and quantitative assessment of leading cloud service providers (CSPs) to guide small and medium businesses (SMBs) in their choice of CSP. Our qualitative study of usability, reliability, and c...
