CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation
Graeme L. Stephens,Deborah G. Vane,Simone Tanelli,Eastwood Im,Stephen L. Durden,Mark J. Rokey,Don Reinke,Philip T. Partain,Gerald G. Mace,Richard T. Austin,Tristan L'Ecuyer,John M. Haynes,Matthew Lebsock,Kentaroh Suzuki,Duane E. Waliser,Dong L. Wu,Jen Kay,Andrew Gettelman,Zhien Wang,Rojer Marchand +19 more
TL;DR: CloudSat data has been used for cloud profiling radar (CPR) as discussed by the authors, which has been operating since 2 June 2006 and has proven to be remarkably stable since turn-on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dreary state of precipitation in global models
Graeme L. Stephens,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Richard G. Forbes,Andrew Gettelmen,Jean-Christophe Golaz,Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo,Kentaroh Suzuki,Philip Gabriel,John M. Haynes +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used CloudSat data to assess the realism of global model precipitation and found that the observed and modeled precipitation are significantly different from the character of liquid precipitation produced by global weather and climate models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the direct and indirect effects of aerosols using global satellite data sets of aerosol and cloud parameters
Miho Sekiguchi,Teruyuki Nakajima,Kentaroh Suzuki,Kazuaki Kawamoto,Akiko Higurashi,Daniel Rosenfeld,Itaru Sano,Sonoyo Mukai +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the correlations between aerosol and cloud parameters derived from satellite remote sensing for evaluating the radiative forcing of the aerosol indirect effect and found that positive correlations between the cloud optical thickness and cloud fraction with the column number concentration exist in most regions consistent with the global mean statistics, but the effective cloud particle radius showed a tendency similar to the global correlation only around the seashore regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet Growth in Warm Water Clouds Observed by the A-Train. Part II: A Multisensor View
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of Aqua/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud particle size observations and CloudSat/Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) observations of warm water clouds was used to infer the hydrometeor droplet growth process from cloud to rain via drizzle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet Growth in Warm Water Clouds Observed by the A-Train. Part I: Sensitivity Analysis of the MODIS-Derived Cloud Droplet Sizes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the sensitivity of the retrieved cloud droplet radii to the vertical inhomogeneity of droplet radius, including the existence of a drizzle mode in clouds.
