Remote sensing the vertical profile of cloud droplet effective radius, thermodynamic phase, and temperature [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Abstract. Cloud-aerosol interaction is a key issue in the climate system, affecting the water cycle, the weather, and the total energy balance including the spatial and temporal distribution of latent heat release. Information on the vertical distribution of cloud droplet microphysics and thermodynamic phase as a function of temperature or height, can ...

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2014 In the study of three-dimensional underwater sensor networks, the nodes would produce changes in perception range under the influence of environmental factors and their own hardware. Requesting all nodes completely isomorphic is unrealistic.

Effective radius of cloud droplets by ground‐based remote sensing: Relationship to aerosol [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2003 Enhancement of cloud droplet number concentration by anthropogenic aerosols has previously been demonstrated by in‐situ measurements, but there remains large uncertainty in the resultant enhancement of cloud optical depth and reflectivity. Detection of this effect is made difficult by the large inherent variability in cloud liquid water path (LWP); the

Extraction of Liana Stems Using Geometric Features from Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point Clouds
Remote Sensing, 2022 Lianas are self-supporting systems that are increasing their dominance in tropical forests due to climate change. As lianas increase tree mortality and reduce tree growth, one key challenge in ecological remote sensing is the separation of a liana and ...
