RISPossibility of the Visible-Channel Calibration Using Deep Convective Clouds Overshooting the TTL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors examined the possible use of deep convective clouds (DCCs), defined as clouds that overshoot the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), for the calibration of satellite measurements at solar channels. DCCs are ...
Assessment of the Quality of MODIS Cloud Products from Radiance Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations made by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO), and CloudSat are ...
Impacts of Partly Cloudy Pixels on Shortwave Broadband Irradiance Computations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBecause of the limitation of the spatial resolution of satellite sensors, satellite pixels identified as cloudy are often partly cloudy. For the first time, this study demonstrates the bias in shortwave (SW) broadband ...
Examining Cloud Macrophysical Changes over the Pacific for 2007–17 Using CALIPSO, CloudSat, and MODIS Observations

Surface Irradiances of Edition 4.0 Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF) Data Product
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe algorithm to produce the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Edition 4.0 (Ed4) Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF)-surface data product is explained. The algorithm forces computed top-of-atmosphere ...
Impact of Ice Cloud Microphysics on Satellite Cloud Retrievals and Broadband Flux Radiative Transfer Model Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Abstract Ice cloud particles exhibit a range of shapes and sizes affecting a cloud?s single-scattering properties. Because they cannot be inferred from passive visible/infrared imager measurements, assumptions about the ...
Arctic Radiation-IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE): The Arctic Radiant Energy System During the Critical Seasonal Ice Transition
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ASA?s Arctic Radiation-IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE) acquired unique aircraft data on atmospheric radiation and sea-ice properties during the critical late-summer to autumn sea-ice minimum and commencement of ...
