ARM Climate Research Facility (ACRF)
"Cloud Processes Research"

DATE: January 20, 2011 to January 20, 2011
TIME: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
SPEAKER: Drs. Michael Jensen & Scott Giangrande, Meteorologists
LOCATION: Building 240, Conference Room 4301, Argonne National Laboratory
HOST: Dr. Scott Collis

Description:
A unifying goal of the research done within the Brookhaven National Laboratory's (BNL) Atmospheric Sciences Division is to understand the role that aerosols and clouds play in the Earth's climate system and to better represent aerosol-cloud-climate interactions in models predicting possible climate change. Towards this goal, BNL has undertaken an end-to-end effort beginning with the development of a theoretical framework describing the growth of cloud droplets from nucleation through to the remote sensing of cloud and precipitation processes near the end of cloud lifecycle. This presentation will emphasize remote sensing of the cloud-to-drizzle transition and parameters of well-developed precipitation through the use of millimeter cloud radar Doppler spectra observations and newer scanning cloud radar opportunities.
