Guide What is BBC2? Why BBC2? Instrumentation Organisation

What is BBC2? Large international measurement campaign 100 researchers, 20 institutes, 5 countries Additional instrumentation in Cabauw Tethered balloons Aircraft Lead by KNMI Natural follow-up of BBC (Augustus-September 2001) April - May 2003 Topics: Cloud, aerosols, radiation and there interactions

Why BBC2? Improve the estimates of change of climate based on climate model runs: 1.4 – 5.8K temperature

Why BBC2? uncertainties can largely be attributed to shortcomings in the representation of cloud related processes in GCMs International Panel on Climate Change: improve the representation of clouds in climate models increase knowledge of cloud related processes need for dedicated highly accurate measurements of cloud properties

Clouds and climate change Low level clouds cool the earth High level clouds warm the earth Future cloud climatology increase low level clouds = negative feedback increase high level clouds = positive feedback

Clouds and climate models Cloud cover fraction

Clouds and climate models Liquid water path Water path

BBC2 main topics Radiative transport in inhomogeneous cloud fields Improvement measurement techniques Synergy: Lidars, radars, microwave radiometers,.. Satellite retrievals (MSG, AVHRR, SCIAMACHY) Improvement of cloud representation in models Focus on boundary layer clouds Radiation and aerosols

Radiative transport in inhomogeneous cloud fields Inhomogenous clouds Model: plane parallel homogeneous clouds Different Photon Paths: Absorption, angular distribution

Radiative transport in inhomogeneous cloud fields Inhomogenous clouds Model: plane parallel homogeneous clouds Different Photon Paths: Absorption, angular distribution

BBC2 GOME validation

BBC2 Turbulent structure of the convective boundary layer Goals - Understand the atmospheric budgets of wind, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide. Assess the added value of turbulence characteristics derived from ground based remote sensing sensors, i.e. windprofiler for clear sky part and cloud radar for boundary layer clouds. How - Observe the profiles of fluxes in the convective boundary layer with a suite of ground based en tower based in-situ observations, remote sensing observation, ballon observations and airplane observations. - Use detailed boundary layer models for interpretation of the observations.
