1. 1. Analysis of the Stratospheric Aerosol Load After the 2019 Raikoke Eruption

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Felicia Carlborg; [2021]
   Keywords : Volcanic Climate Impact; Raikoke; CALIPSO; Satellite; Stratospheric Aerosols; Radiative Forcing; Aerosol Optical Depth; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF).

3. 2. Cirrus Clouds; Study of Microphyscial Properties and Their Seasonal & Temperature Dependence in the Tropics and Mid-latitudes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Magdalena Sofia Maria Folestad; [2020]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Cirrus clouds are high-level ice clouds covering ≈ 30% of Earth’s surface. The cirrus clouds ice crystals can be formed by heterogeneous or homogeneous nucleation, where temperatures for heterogeneous nucleation was set to -38 - -30 °C and for homogeneous nucleation below -42 °C.

4. 3. Use of Satellite Data for Prediction of Weather Impact on EO-Systems

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Cecilia Gullström; [2018]
   Keywords : EO-systems; Aerosols; Extinction coefficient; Satellite data; CALIPSO; EO-system; Aerosoler; Extinktionskoefficient; Satellitdata; CALIPSO;

   Abstract : To predict the performance of an electro-optical sensor system (EO-system) requires taking the weather situation into consideration. The possibility to use weather data from satellites instead of ground – and flight stations has been investigated. READ MORE

5. 4. Retrieval of Cloud Top Pressure

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Claudia Adok; [2016]
   Keywords : neural networks; multilayer perceptron; random forest regression; cloud top pressure; cloud top height;

   Abstract : In this thesis the predictive models the multilayer perceptron and random forest are evaluated to predict cloud top pressure. The dataset used in this thesis contains brightness temperatures, reflectances and other useful variables to determine the cloud top pressure from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument on the two satellites NOAA-17 and NOAA-18 during the time period 2006-2009.
