1. Satellite microwave measurements of cloud ice properties
Sammanfattning : Upper tropospheric cloud ice and water vapour are two intimately connected components of the atmosphere, that influence the Earth's energy budget. The response of these components to a warming climate is not well understood. LÄS MER
2. Remote sensing of ice clouds : synergistic measurements and radiative transfer simulations
Sammanfattning : This thesis primarily considers the spaceborne remote sensing of ice clouds and frozen precipitation. Ice clouds are important for hydrology and for the Earth’s radiation budget, but many properties are difficult to measure, in particular using spaceborne instruments. LÄS MER
3. Microwave and infrared remote sensing of ice clouds : measurements and radiative transfer simulations
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis considers the combination of multiple instruments for remote sensing of the Earth atmosphere from space. The primary focus is on remote sensing of atmospheric ice. Ice clouds are important for the Earth’s radiation budget, but their properties are difficult to measure and therefore poorly known. LÄS MER
4. Satellite measurements of upper tropospheric water
Sammanfattning : Water vapour and clouds in the upper troposphere have strong influence on the Earth's climate system. The present uncertainties regarding the distribution and feedback mechanisms of water to a changing climate are today among the greatest limitations for accurate climate predictions. LÄS MER
5. Retrieving cloud ice masses from geostationary images with neural networks
Sammanfattning : Clouds are essential to the Earth's energy budget and atmospheric circulation. Despite this, many cloud parameters are poorly known, including the mass of frozen hydrometeors. On the one hand, there will be specialized satellite missions targeting such hydrometeors. On the other hand, existing satellite data can be leveraged. LÄS MER
