Abstract: This study addresses the problem of four-dimensional (4D) estimation of a cloudy atmosphere on cloud-resolving scales using satellite remote sensing measurements. The motivation is to develop a methodology for accurate ...

Abstract: This study focuses on cloudy atmosphere state estimation from high-resolution visible and infrared satellite remote sensing measurements and a mesoscale model with explicit cloud prediction. The cloud state is defined as ...

Abstract: Information content analysis of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounder observations in the infrared was conducted for use in satellite data assimilation. Information content is defined as a ...
