Abstract: Contemporary and future high spectral resolution sounders represent a significant technical advancement for environmental and meteorological prediction and monitoring. Given their large volume of spectral observations, the ...

Abstract: ethods coming from statistics and pattern recognition to estimate the cloud mask from radiance measured by visible and infrared sensors on board satellites are gaining greater consideration for their ability to properly ...

Abstract: This paper describes the theory and application of the minimum local emissivity variance (MLEV) technique for simultaneous retrieval of cloud pressure level and effective spectral emissivity from high-spectral-resolution ...
