Journal ArticleDOI
The albedo of fractal stratocumulus clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, a fractal model was employed to reproduce both the probability distribution and the wavenumber spectrum of the stratocumulus liquid water path, as observed during the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Stratus Cloud and Drizzle Parameters in ASTEX with a Kα-Band Doppler Radar and a Microwave Radiometer
TL;DR: In this article, data from a Kα-band radar and microwave radiometer along with a droplet model were used to determine the droplet parameters of drizzle and clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Steerable Dual-Channel Microwave Radiometer for Measurement of Water Vapor and Liquid in the Troposphere
TL;DR: In this article, an instrument that remotely senses the integrated amounts of water vapor and liquid on a path through the atmosphere is discussed, which is used for weather forecasting, weather modification, solar-radiation studies and instrumentation for geodetic metrology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratocumulus cloud properties derived from simultaneous satellite and island-based instrumentation during FIRE
TL;DR: In this paper, satellite-derived cloud optical depth and two surface-observed quantities: cloud liquid water path and cloud thickness were used to infer effective cloud-droplet radius, resulting in good agreement with correlative data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface‐based remote sensing of the observed and the Adiabatic liquid water content of stratocumulus clouds

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser ceilometer, an acoustic sounder, and a microwave radiometer were used to estimate cloud thickness and the adiabatic and integrated liquid water content of shallow stratocumulus clouds continuously for three days using two-minute averages.
