Comparison of the CALIPSO satellite and ground-based observations of cirrus clouds at the ARM TWP sites

Journal Article Thorsen, Tyler J ; Fu, Q ; Comstock, Jennifer M - Journal of Geophysical Research. D. (Atmospheres)

Statistics of ice cloud macrophysical and optical properties from the Cloud-Aerosol LIdar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument on board the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite are compared with those from ground-based lidar observations over a 31 month period. Ground-based lidar observations are taken from the micropulse lidars (MPL) at the three Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) tropical western pacific (TWP) sites: Manus, Nauru and Darwin. CALIPSO observations show a larger cloud fraction at high altitudes while the ground-based MPLs show a larger cloud fraction at low altitudes. The difference in mean ice cloud topmore »« less

Microwave signatures of ice hydrometeors from ground-based observations above Summit, Greenland

Journal Article Pettersen, Claire ; Bennartz, Ralf ; Kulie, Mark S. ; ... - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Online)

Multi-instrument, ground-based measurements provide unique and comprehensive data sets of the atmosphere for a specific location over long periods of time and resulting data compliment past and existing global satellite observations. Our paper explores the effect of ice hydrometeors on ground-based, high-frequency passive microwave measurements and attempts to isolate an ice signature for summer seasons at Summit, Greenland, from 2010 to 2013. Furthermore, data from a combination of passive microwave, cloud radar, radiosonde, and ceilometer were examined to isolate the ice signature at microwave wavelengths. By limiting the study to a cloud liquid water path of 40 g m^-2 ormore »« less

Macrophysical Properties of Tropical Cirrus Clouds from the CALIPSO Satellite and from Ground-based Micropulse and Raman Lidars

Journal Article Thorsen, Tyler J. ; Fu, Qiang ; Comstock, Jennifer M. ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. D. (Atmospheres), 118(16):9209-9220

Lidar observations of cirrus cloud macrophysical properties over the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program Darwin, Australia site are compared from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and In- frared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite, the ground-based ARM micropulse lidar (MPL), and the ARM Raman lidar (RL). Comparisons are made using the subset of profiles where the lidar beam is not fully attenuated. Daytime measurements using the RL are shown to be relatively unaffected by the solar background and are therefore suited for checking the validity of diurnal cycles. RL and CALIPSO cloud fraction profiles show good agreement while themore »« less

Differences in Ice Cloud Optical Depth From CALIPSO and Ground-Based Raman Lidar at the ARM SGP and TWP Sites

Journal Article Balmes, K. A. ; Fu, Q. ; Thorsen, T. J. - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

Ice cloud column optical depths from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite and ground-based Raman lidars (RLs) at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) and Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) sites are compared for 8 and 4 years, respectively. The cloudy mean ice cloud column optical depths from CALIPSO Version 4 data product with a horizontal resolution of 5 km are 78% (63%) larger than those from the RLs with a resolution of 10 min/30 m at SGP (TWP) for collocated transparent profiles. The main difference at SGP is caused by the lidar ratiomore »« less

Cloud Phase Simulation at High Latitudes in EAMv2: Evaluation using CALIPSO Observations and Comparison with EAMv1

Journal Article Zhang, Meng ; Xie, Shaocheng ; Liu, Xiaohong ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

AbstractThis study performs a comprehensive evaluation of the simulated cloud phase in the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Exascale Earth System Model, atmosphere model version 2 (EAMv2), and version 1 (EAMv1). Enabled by the CALIPSO (Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) simulator, EAMv2 and EAMv1 predicted cloud phase is compared against the GCM‐Oriented CALIPSO Cloud Product (CALIPSO‐GOCCP) at high latitudes where mixed‐phase clouds are prevalent. Our results indicate that the underestimation of cloud ice in simulated high‐latitude mixed‐phase clouds in EAMv1 has been significantly reduced in EAMv2. The increased ice clouds in the Arctic mainly result from the modificationmore »« less
