New original radiation measurement system provides on-site profile measurements for the first time
The observation campaigns were carried out three times in the summer of 2018 and 2019, of which the longest flight observation lasted more than 30 hours and made it possible to achieve a breakthrough in the daily variation of radiation in UTLS.
According to the team, the radiation profiles based onof stratospheric balloons, combined with simultaneous operating radiosondes, ground-based measurements, satellite searches, and radiative transfer model modeling are valuable because the data can be used to study changes in radiation and radiative forcing of clouds and aerosols over the Tibetan Plateau during the Asian summer monsoons. The data on radiation recovery obtained as a result of modeling the radiation transfer model and satellite observations are also confirmed.
The results of these campaigns can improve ourunderstanding the radiative properties of UTLS and help us better understand the thermal conditions associated with clouds and aerosols over TP during the Asian summer monsoon.
