RISComputationally Efficient Methods of Collocating Satellite, Aircraft, and Ground Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The usefulness of measurements from satellite-borne instruments is enhanced if these measurements can be compared to measurements from other instruments mounted aboard the same or different satellite, with measurements ...
Retrieval of Ice Cloud Optical Thickness and Effective Particle Size Using a Fast Infrared Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: computationally efficient radiative transfer model (RTM) is developed for the inference of ice cloud optical thickness and effective particle size from satellite-based infrared (IR) measurements and is aimed at potential ...
Retrieval of Ice Cloud Properties from AIRS and MODIS Observations Based on a Fast High-Spectral-Resolution Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: computationally efficient high-spectral-resolution cloudy-sky radiative transfer model (HRTM) in the thermal infrared region (700?1300 cm?1, 0.1 cm?1 spectral resolution) is advanced for simulating the upwelling radiance ...
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 ...
An Improvement to the High-Spectral-Resolution CO2-Slicing Cloud-Top Altitude Retrieval
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An improvement to high-spectral-resolution infrared cloud-top altitude retrievals is compared to existing retrieval methods and cloud lidar measurements. The new method, CO2 sorting, determines optimal channel pairs to ...
Using Sounder Data to Improve Cirrus Cloud Height Estimation from Satellite Imagers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractModern polar-orbiting meteorological satellites provide both imaging and sounding observations simultaneously. Most imagers, however, do not have H2O and CO2 absorption bands and therefore struggle to accurately ...
CALIPSO/CALIOP Cloud Phase Discrimination Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current cloud thermodynamic phase discrimination by Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) is based on the depolarization of backscattered light measured by its lidar [Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with ...
An Eye on the Storm: Integrating a Wealth of Data for Quickly Advancing the Physical Understanding and Forecasting of Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The JPL Tropical Cyclone Information System integrates observations with model forecasts, allowing interrogation of a large number of variables, to help better understand the multi-scale non-linear interactions that lead ...
