RISClimate Parameters from Satellite Spectral Measurements. Part 1: Collocated AVHRR and HIRS/2 Observations of Spectral Greenhouse Parameter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated method of monitoring various climate parameters using collocated Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and High-Resolution Infrared Sounder-2 (HIRS/2) observations has been developed. The method, ...
Reprocessing of HIRS Satellite Measurements from 1980 to 2015: Development toward a Consistent Decadal Cloud Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents the cloud-parameter data records derived from High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) measurements from 1980 through 2015 on the NOAA and MetOp polar-orbiting platforms. Over this time period, ...
Errors in Cloud Detection over the Arctic Using a Satellite Imager and Implications for Observing Feedback Mechanisms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Arctic sea ice extent has decreased dramatically over the last 30 years, and this trend is expected to continue through the twenty-first century. Changes in sea ice extent impact cloud cover, which in turn influences the ...
Impact of the Aqua MODIS Band 6 Restoration on Cloud/Snow Discrimination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: istinguishing between clouds and snow is an intrinsically challenging problem because both have similar high albedo across many bands. The 1.6-?m channel (band 6) on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ...
High-Spatial-Resolution Surface and Cloud-Type Classification from MODIS Multispectral Band Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for automated classification of surface and cloud types using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) radiance measurements has been developed. The MODIS cloud mask is used to define the training ...
Nighttime Multilayered Cloud Detection Using MODIS and ARM Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study reports on recent progress toward the discrimination between pixels containing multilayered clouds, specifically optically thin cirrus overlying lower-level water clouds, and those containing single-layered ...
Cloud Detection with MODIS. Part I: Improvements in the MODIS Cloud Mask for Collection 5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Significant improvements have been made to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud mask (MOD35 and MYD35) for Collection 5 reprocessing and forward stream data production. Most of the modifications ...
Comparing MODIS and AIRS Infrared-Based Cloud Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omparisons are described for infrared-derived cloud products retrieved from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) using measured spatial response functions ...
MODIS Cloud-Top Property Refinements for Collection 6
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper summarizes the Collection-6 refinements in the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) operational cloud-top properties algorithm. The focus is on calibration improvements and on cloud macrophysical ...
MODIS Global Cloud-Top Pressure and Amount Estimation: Algorithm Description and Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua platforms provides unique measurements for deriving global and regional cloud properties. MODIS has spectral ...
