Ice clouds play an important role in earth radiation balance by reflecting solar and absorbing thermal radiation, the so-called albedo versus greenhouse eects, which cause signicant dierential atmospheric heating and cooling in...
Tropospheric cloud ice has a significant impact on the earth's radiative balance and climate, and to help improve the ability to forecast short-term through climatological-scale weather, the importance of quantification of these ice...
Many studies have been conducted on the satellite remote sensing of rainfall, but not on the remote sensing of snowfall. To obtain a global view of snowfall in a timely matter, passive high frequency microwave satellite measurements must...
Different phases of precipitation would bring different hydrological impacts. For example, rainfall would become streamflow and increase surface runoffs, while snow would accumulate and increase surface albedo, acting as a crucial driver...
Ice and snow particles have a great, yet poorly understood impact on the Earth's climate system. One of the difficulties of studying snow particles is their irregular shape. While spheres and even oblate spheroids backscatter radiation...
Accurate knowledge of cloud-top height is important for a range of meteorological applications. Uses include cloud classification and the assignment of height levels to cloud drift winds. Such data may also be useful for monitoring...
Satellite and ground-based instrumentation, such as radar, lidar and radiometers, have the capability of remotely detecting water, graupel, ice and snow particles in the atmosphere. The detection and characterization of liquid water in...
