Abstract: Aggregation of atmospheric data using the common equal-angle (latitude-longitude) map grid is shown to introduce an unnecessary degradation of data quality compared with aggregation using an equal-area grid. Analysis of ...

Abstract: The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) began in 1983 to collect and analyze weather satellite radiance datasets to produce a new global cloud climatology as part of the World Climate Research Programme. ...

Abstract: Global, daily, visible and infrared radiance measurements from the NOAA-5 Scanning Radiometer (SR) are analyzed for the months of January, April, July and October 1977 to infer cloud and surface radiative properties. In ...

Abstract: A new 8-year global cloud climatology has been produced by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) that provides information every 3 h at 280-km spatial resolution covering the period from July 1983 ...
