The implementation of an operational network of microwave radiometers is presently
hampered by the cost and complexity of the available instruments. For this reason, the …

Two airborne field campaigns focusing on observations of Arctic mixed-phase clouds and
boundary layer processes and their role with respect to Arctic amplification have been …

Ground-based two-channel microwave radiometers (MWRs) have been used for over 15
years by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program to provide observations …

The Climate Research Facility of the US Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) Program operates a network of ground-based microwave radiometers …

Surface-based radiometric sensing of tropospheric parameters has a long history of
providing useful measurements of temperature, water vapor, and cloud liquid. In this review …

Within the framework of the international field campaign COPS (Convective and
Orographically‐induced Precipitation Study), a large suite of state‐of‐the‐art meteorological …

This paper investigates the influence of cloud model statistics on the accuracy of statistical
multiple‐frequency liquid water path (LWP) retrievals for a ground‐based microwave …

The phase composition and microphysical structure of clouds define the manner in which
they modulate atmospheric radiation and contribute to the hydrologic cycle. Issues regarding …

A method for classifying cloud phase from a suite of ground‐based sensors is outlined. The
method exploits the complementary strengths of cloud radar, depolarization lidar, microwave …

Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic,
contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very …
