Moran, Ken; Pezoa, Sergio; Fairall, Chris; Williams, Chris; Ayers, Tom; Brewer, Alan; de Szoeke, Simon P.; Ghate, Virendra (Springer, 2012-04)

Cloud radars at X, Ka and W-bands have been used in the past for ocean studies of clouds, but the lack of suitable stabilization has limited their usefulness in obtaining accurate measurements of the velocity structure ...
Stratocumulus Cloud-Top Height Estimates and Their Climatic Implications

Zuidema, Paquita; Painemal, David; de Szoeke, Simon; Fairall, Chris (American Meteorological Society, 2009-09)

A depth-dependent boundary layer lapse rate was empirically deduced from 156 radiosondes released during six month-long research cruises to the southeast Pacific sampling a variety of stratocumulus conditions. The lapse- ...
