Sky cover from MFRSR observations

Weekly cycles have been analysed in surface observations of sulfur dioxide and sul- fate concentrations, satellite observations of aerosol optical depth, cloud properties (cloud

The function I (z) ˜ is found by measuring light reflectance from snow walls and can be used to retrieve the optical and microphysical properties of the snow layers at any depth..

The well- predicted aerosol quantities, such as aerosol number, mass composition and optical properties, and the inclusion of full aerosol-cloud couplings lead to

First, the MFRSR-retrieved optical properties are compared with those obtained from independent surface, Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and aircraft measurements..

The direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF) has been estimated for the clear-sky conditions over Delhi from January 2006 to January 2007 using Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric

We perturb aerosol and meteorological properties within an observationally-constrained LES and determine the cloud response, focusing on changes in liquid water path (LWP), bulk

To understand the potential of our approach for retrieving aerosol sources from MODIS observations, we will exam- ine the impact of MODIS data limitations, test the effect of

The final data set of the aerosol optical and microphysical properties along with the water vapor profiles were incorporated into the ISORROPIA II model (Fountoukis and Nenes, 2007)
