TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the calibration characteristics of the NASA/GSFC Raman water vapor lidar during three field experiments that occurred between 1991 and 1993 and found that the lidar water vapor profiles were calibrated using relative humidity profiles measured by AIR and Vaisala radiosondes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined dynamical processes operating in cirrus cloud systems observed on 19 and 28 October 1986 and found that a mixture of phenomena occurred including small-scale convective cells, gravity waves, quasi-two-dimensional waves, and larger two-dimensional mesoscale waves.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intensification of the convection and advection processes due to afforestation and increased cultivation-induced enhancement of the daytime sensible heat flux from the generally dry surface is attributed to both the reduced surface albedo and the reduced soil heat flux in October, when insolation is strong.

TL;DR: In this paper, a correction technique is presented which minimizes the influences of multiple scattering and derives information about cirrus cloud optical and physical properties, based on a comparison of lidar and GOES measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multispectral, multiresolution (MSMR) method was applied to two multilevel cloud scenes recorded by the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the HIRS/2 instruments during the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Program (ISCCP) Regional Experiment (FIRE) on 28 November 1991.
