Journal ArticleDOI
Ice Cloud Content from Radar Reflectivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the precipitation rate and ice mass content (M, g m−3) of ice crystal clouds were found to be related to the radar reflectivity factor (Zi = 5.3Ze).
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic ash plume identification using polarization lidar: Augustine eruption, Alaska
TL;DR: In this paper, a plume of volcanic ash was transported northward into the interior of Alaska using a polarization lidar (0.694 μm wavelength) at the Arctic Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar depolarization from multiple scattering in marine stratus clouds
TL;DR: Investigated were the effects on the linear depolarization ratio δ of lidar receiver field of view (FOV), elevation angle, and laser alignment error, and an approximately linear increase in maximum δ values was observed with increasing receiver FOV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studying Altocumulus with Ice Virga Using Ground-Based Active and Passive Remote Sensors
TL;DR: In this article, a combined active and passive remote sensing approach for studying supercooled altocumulus with ice virga, using multiple remote sensor observations, is presented, and the results demonstrate the capabilities of this approach in retrieving radiatively important microphysical properties to characterize this type of mixed-phase cloud.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar crossover function and misalignment effects.
Kenneth Sassen,Gregory C. Dodd +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that for lidar systems constrained to narrow beam-widths for polarization or other observations, accurate alignment is of great importance to lidar operations.
