Cloud compute is an opportunity that has been in the public consciousness for some time now, however more recently we have tried to introduce FPGA’s into cloud-based systems. This offers the advantage of parallelizing a ...
-
(2019-04-05)Cloud feedback remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in model climate sensitivity estimates, partly because of the complicated interactions between convective processes, radiative effects, and the large-scale ...
-
(2015-11-24)The factors involved in choosing between storing data repositories at locally-hosted infrastructures or at (remote) public clouds are well understood for many enterprise application domains. The proliferation of ...
-
(2020-11-20)This dissertation develops optimal cloud ice particle optical property models used for remotely sensed data from multi-angular satellite sensors. The optimal degree of surface roughness is inferred from Multi-angle Imaging ...
-
(2011-02-22)A Differential Mobility Analyzer/Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA/TDMA) system was used to measure simultaneously the size distribution and hygroscopicity of the ambient aerosol population. The system was operated ...
-
(2017-08-16)Accurate measurement of the Earth’s hydrologic cycle requires a more precise understanding of precipitation accumulation and intensity on a global scale. While there is a long record of passive microwave satellite measurements, ...
-
(2018-05-05)In this study, the regional-scale aerosol effects are quantitatively assessed under various weather conditions by conducting numerical modeling studies to improve the understanding of physical processes involved in ...
-
(2010-10-12)Thin clouds are the most difficult cloud type to observe. The recent availability of joint cloud products from the active remote sensing instruments aboard CloudSat and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder ...
-
(2015-02-09)Clouds continue to be a large source of uncertainty within global climate models. While satellites provide the only global datasets for comparison with these models, satellite retrievals provide inferences of cloud properties, ...
