Marine Stratus Clouds; Radiative Effects and Models

小行星9311752 这项研究的目的是海洋层云的物理学，它存在于美洲附近的大部分海洋上。 辐射交换、云内垂直运动和海面热交换的相互竞争的影响需要通过实验加以评估。 将使用NCAR的研究飞机（C- 130）进行必要的测量。 特别是，将使用一种新的（光谱）辐射计，这将有助于确定来自云顶的红外冷却的相对重要性。 ***

9311752 Telford The objective of this research is the physics of marine stratus clouds which exist over large portions of the ocean adjacent to the Americas. The competing effects of radiative exchange; vertical motion within the clouds and the heat exchange at the sea surface need to be evaluated experimentally. The necessary measurements will be made using a research aircraft (C- 130) from NCAR. In particular, a new (spectral) radiometer will be used, which should help to determine the relative importance of infrared cooling from the cloud tops. ***
