Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE): National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Calibration Target Placements Field Campaign Report

Technical Report Kalukin, A. ; Mahajan, M. ; Crook, R. ; ...

The purpose of our research has been to develop a capability of simulating image collection from any sensor so as to account for sensor configuration, ground spectral radiance, and atmospheric contributions. Atmosphere is arguably the most difficult aspect of the image pipeline to accurately characterize and integrate into an image simulation. Some of the reasons for this include the highly variable spatial content of different absorbing and scattering species in the atmosphere. Additionally, the interaction of land and atmosphere can significantly impact the total radiation budget, especially in the southern Great Plains.
Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE) Field Campaign Report

Program Document Fast, J. D. ; Berg, L. K. ; Burleyson, C. ; ...

Cumulus convection is an important component in the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrologic cycle over the southern Great Plains and over many regions of the world, particularly during the summertime growing season when intense turbulence induced by surface radiation couples the land surface to clouds. Current convective cloud parameterizations contain uncertainties resulting in part from insufficient coincident data that couples cloud macrophysical and microphysical properties to inhomogeneities in land surface, boundary layer, and aerosol properties. The Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE) campaign was designed to provide a detailed set of measurements that are needed to obtainmore »« less

Most of the instruments were deployed on the ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) Gulfstream-159 (G-1) aircraft, including those that measure atmospheric turbulence, cloud water content and drop size distributions, aerosol precursor gases, aerosol chemical composition and size distributions, and cloud condensation nuclei concentrations. Aerosol microphysical property measurements supplemented routine ARM aerosol measurements made at the surface. The G-1 completed transects over the SGP Central Facility at multiple altitudes within the boundary layer, and within and above clouds.
The Impact of Variable Land-Atmosphere Coupling on Convective Cloud Populations Observed During the 2016 HI-SCALE Field Campaign

Journal Article Fast, Jerome D. ; Berg, Larry K. ; Feng, Zhe ; ... - Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems

We use a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model with a nested domain configuration (297 and 120 km wide) and an interactive land surface parameterization to simulate the complex population of shallow clouds observed on August 30, 2016 during the Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE) campaign conducted in north-central Oklahoma. Shallow convective clouds first formed over southeast Oklahoma and then spread towards the northwest into southern Kansas. By the early afternoon, the relatively uniform shallow cloud field became more complex in which some regions became nearly cloud free and in other regions larger shallow clouds developed withmore »« less
