Use of in situ cloud condensation nuclei, extinction, and aerosol size distribution measurements to test a method for retrieving cloud condensation nuclei profiles from surface measurements
[1] If the aerosol composition and size distribution below cloud are uniform, the vertical profile of cloud condensation nuclei concentration can be retrieved entirely from surface measurements of CCN concentration and particle humidification function and surfacebased retrievals of relative humidity and aerosol extinction or backscatter. This provides the potential for long-term measurements of...
متن کاملNear-real time cloud properties and aircraft icing indices from GEO and LEO satellites
Imagers on many of the current and future operational meteorological satellites in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) and lower Earth orbit (LEO) have enough spectral channels to derive cloud microphysical properties useful for a variety of applications. The products include cloud amount, phase, optical depth, temperature, height and pressure, thickness, effective particle size, and ice or liquid ...

متن کاملEstimating Salinity Variance Dissipation Rate from Conductivity Microstructure Measurements
At the smallest length scales, conductivity measurements include a contribution from salinity fluctuations in the inertial–convective and viscous–diffusive ranges of the turbulent scalar variance spectrum. Interpreting these measurements is complicated because conductivity is a compound quantity of both temperature and salinity. Accurate estimates of the dissipation rate of salinity variance xS...
متن کاملIntercomparisons Between Remote and In Situ Measurements of Ice Cloud Microphysics During the Spring 1997 Cloud IOP
The spring 1997 Cloud Intensive Observation Period (IOP) was conducted at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site during April 1997. The objectives of this IOP included comprehensive testing of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program’s millimeter-wave cloud radar (MMCR) and verifications of several cloud retrieval algorithms by comparisons of the remo...
