A Study of Asian Dust Events Using Surface, Satellite, and Aircraft Measurements During Intex-B
… during INTEX-B using surface, satellite and DC-8 aircraft measurements.</p> <p>A total of 11 dust events have been identified and summarized. Two dust events, originating from the Gobi desert on 7 and 17 April 2006, have been extensively analyzed, and their trajectories, strength and evolution …

Air Pollutant Concentrations and Trends over the Eastern U.S. and China: Aircraft Measurements and Numerical Simulations
… including O3, NOx, CO and SO2, the long-term aircraft measurements over the eastern U.S. provide a unique opportunity to study the trend of the air pollutant column contents and the regional transport in the free troposphere. Analyses of the historical data indicated ~2.0 Dobson Unit/decade …

Mechanistic, sensitivity, and uncertainty studies of the atmospheric oxidation of dimethylsulfide
… column model constrained by high-frequency aircraft measurements from the

The calculation of cloud parameters from AVHRR data
… shown to contribute negligibly to visible cloud measurements (for 8-bit radiometer resolution). The Channels 1 to 3 terrestrial reflectance is averaged from more than two years of satellite data. Sea-surface state is examined as a function of windspeed. A method of extracting surface temperature …

Assessing the dependence of bulk ice properties from probes with anti-shatter tips on environmental conditions
… with and without anti-shattering algorithms. The measurements were obtained from the National Research Council of Canada Convair-580 during the 2008 Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research C-130 during the 2011 Instrumentation Development …

Aerosols and boundary layer structure over Arctic sea ice based on airborne lidar and dropsonde measurements
… the Arctic climate. In the course of this study aircraft measurements were performed over the western Arctic Ocean as part of the campaign PAMARCMIP 2012 of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). Backscatter from aerosols and clouds within the lower troposphere and the …

Cloud drop effective radius for trade wind cumuli observed during RICO by aircraft and MODIS
… clouds, not for cumulus. Here, we use in-situ aircraft measurements from RICO (“Rain In shallow Cumulus over the Ocean”) for these cumuli, and investigate how they compare to satellite retrievals from MODIS (“Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer”). In doing so, the vertical structure …

Parameterizing PSD assumptions for remote sensing algorithms
… from January to March 2012. GCPEx utilized aircraft and ground instrumentation to sample snowfall characteristics in Ontario, Canada from January to March 2012. In-situ measurements from the University of North Dakota Citation aircraft and 2-D video disdrometers (2DVD) represent a large …

Observations of Aromatic Oxidation Products in Southeast Asia
… The prediction of PBzN applying campaign measurements while holding the benzyl radical and PBzN in steady state was performed. The R² values indicate stronger correlations in Taiwan compared to Thailand and the Philippines for both measured and modeled PBzN data, with Taiwan showing the …

Characterization and modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions toward the improvement of rainfall estimation in high mountains
… elevated regions, ground-based precipitation measurements are scarce or non-existing. Remote sensing estimates are prone to underestimation due to a lack of sensitivity to light precipitation and ground-clutter contamination of radar signals by steep terrain. The latter creates a blind zone …
