A Comparison of MODIS-Derived Cloud Fraction with Surface Observations at Five SURFRAD Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: louds determine the amount of solar radiation incident to the surface. Accurately quantifying cloud fraction is of great importance but is difficult to accomplish. Satellite and surface cloud observations have different ...

Empirical Analysis of Commuters’ Nonwork Stop-Making Behavior in Beijing, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model to determine both a worker’s decision to participate in a nonwork activity and the decision about whether to include it in the basic home–work–home commute. By using household travel ...
