Cloud optical depth retrievals from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) cloud mode observations [PDF]
Cloud optical depth is one of the most poorly observed climate variables. The new “cloud mode” capability in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) will inexpensively yet dramatically increase cloud optical depth observations in both number and accuracy ...

Development of a Polarimetric 50-GHz Spectrometer for Temperature Sounding in the Middle Atmosphere
This article addresses the further development of the ground-based temperature radiometer TEMPERA, which measures atmospheric microwave radiation in one linear polarization in order to retrieve temperature profiles up to an altitude of 50 km (Stä ...

Medicane characteristics from high‐resolution satellite radar observations
This study uses high‐resolution observations from satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to reveal that medicanes, cyclones with tropical features in the Mediterranean basin, have dynamical characteristics with attributes comparable with those of tropical cyclones of similar intensities, but smaller outer sizes and Rossby numbers.

Offset balancing in pseudo-correlation radiometers for CMB measurements
Radiometeric CMB measurements need to be highly stable and this stability is best obtained with differential receivers. The residual 1/f noise in the differential output is strongly dependent on the radiometer input offset which can be cancelled using ...
