How can we use lidar and radar to monitor aerosol-cloud interaction?

Novel method of drizzle formation observation at large horizontal scales using multi-wavelength satellite imagery simulation

The observations of on-board satellite imaging radiometers are representative of a far-reaching two-dimensional cloud top properties, however with a cutback in the capacity of profiling the cloud vertically. A combination of simulated radiances calculated at the top of the cloud in the near-infrared (IR) and thermal infrared part of the spectra,...

Toward the optimal resolution on rainfall estimates to obtain reliable urban hydrological response: X-band polarimetric radar estimates applied to Rotterdam urban drainage system

Weather observations are conventionally performed by single polarization C-band weather radars with a temporal and spatial resolution of 5 min and 1 km, respectively. However, for urbanized areas, these spatial and temporal resolutions may not be sufficient to detect, monitor, and obtain accurate rainfall rate estimates of fastevolving weather...
