Characteristics of aerosol and cloud particle size distributions in the tropical tropopause layer measured with optical particle counter and lidar
An optical particle counter (OPC) is used in conjunction with lidar measurements to examine the characteristics of the particle size distribution in cirrus cloud in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) over Thailand where the TTL is defined as the height at which temperature is lower than −75◦C in this paper. Of 11 OPC launches, cirrus cloud was detected at 10–15 km high on 7 occasions, cirrus w...
متن کاملمطالعه اثر اندازه دانهها در تشکیل فاز و ریز ساختار سیم ابررسانای
The effect of particle size and the heat treatment on precursor powder and subsequent phase formation of silver tube Bi-2223 wire has been studied. First, we have prepared a series of Bi1.66Pb0.34Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy samples with different sintering temperatures and studied the phase formation in these samples. Second, different particle size distributions were obtained by grinding powders of best for...
متن کاملJp2.4 Retrieval of Cloud Optical Properties from Infrared Hyper-spectral Measurements: a New Methodology Based on Line-by-line Multiple Scattering Code and Measured Particles Size Distributions
1. ABSTRACT A new methodology to retrieve cloud optical properties using hyper-spectral infrared measurements is presented. The new method makes use of line by line multiple scattering (LbLMS) simulations to retrieve spectrally resolved cloud optical depths from spectral radiance data. The retrieval requires knowledge of the clear sky profile and cloud boundaries. The cloud microphysical proper...
متن کاملDirect Estimation of Fine and Coarse Mode Particle Parameters from Multiwavelength Lidar Measurements
An approach for the direct estimation (DE) of particle parameters in the fine and coarse mode from multiwavelength lidar measurements is presented. Particle size distributions in both modes are approximated by rectangular functions, so the particle density is estimated directly without solving the inverse problem. The numerical simulation demonstrates that the particle volume in both modes can ...
متن کاملComparison between CARIBIC Aerosol Samples Analysed by Accelerator-Based Methods and Optical Particle Counter Measurements
Inter-comparison of results from two kinds of aerosol systems in the CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the atmosphere Based on a Instrument Container) passenger aircraft based observatory, operating during intercontinental flights at 9–12 km altitude, is presented. Aerosol from the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), the extra-tropical upper troposphere (UT) and the tropical mi...
