Atmospheric processes and observations

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
The central role of the atmosphere in abrupt climate change is proposed and discussed. This discussion is given in the context of the poleward transport of energy in the climate system and of climate variability and change. A number of examples based on observational and model data are used to illustrate the ideas.

Atmospheric glories: simulations and observations

Applied Optics, 2005
Mie theory can be used to provide full-color simulations of atmospheric glories. Comparison of such simulations with images of real glories suggests that most glories are caused by spherical water droplets with radii between 4 and 25 microm. This paper also examines the appearance of glories taking into account the size of the droplets and the width of

Observing the Atmosphere

2003
The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the techniques used to observe the atmosphere, and the physical principles involved. In particular, we attempt to highlight characteristics of different observation types that need to be taken into account when using them in an atmospheric data assimilation system.

Observations by Atmospheric Radar

2013
Atmospheric radars are capable of continuously monitoring echo power spectrum in the vicinity of the zenith. From the spectrum, echo intensity, Doppler velocity, and velocity spectrum width are derivable over the wide altitude range 1–100 km in the Earth’s atmosphere. In this chapter, observations by atmospheric radar are discussed.

Atmospheric Changes and Observations

2019
Earth’s atmosphere is usually air layer of the solid Earth outer, which is an important part of the Earth’s natural environment. It is the condition indispensable to the survival of life on Earth and also protective for life on Earth. With developments and advances in space technologies, human activities are involving into the upper atmosphere and ...
