Boundary layer clouds play an important role in the global energy budget. The radiative properties of these clouds depend upon the cloud fraction and the horizontal variability of …
We set up an Observation System Simulation in order to quantify the idiosyncratic uncertainties caused by cloud inhomogeneity in two‐aircraft measurements. An …
A theoretical study has been conducted on the effects of cloud horizontal inhomogeneity on cloud albedo bias. A two-dimensional (2D) version of the Spherical Harmonic Discrete …
Pulsed laser beams are essentially δ-functions in space, time and direction; lidar returns are therefore the remotely observable parts of the cloud's Green function for radiative transfer …
There are two simple approaches to the manifestly 3D problem of radiative transfer in the cloudy atmosphere in the solar spectrum. First, the “weighted plane-parallel” approximation …
