Abstract: eep convective updrafts often penetrate through the surrounding cirrus anvil and into the lower stratosphere. Cross-tropopause transport of ice, water vapor, and chemicals occurs within these ?overshooting tops? (OTs) along ...

Abstract: The identification of clear-sky and cloudy pixels is a key step in the processing of satellite observations. This is equally important for surface and cloud?atmosphere applications. In this paper, the Separation of Pixels ...

Abstract: Multispectral surface albedo and bidirectional properties are required for accurate determination of the surface and atmosphere solar radiation budget. A method is developed here to obtain time series of these surface ...

Abstract: dentification of clear-sky snow and ice is an important step in the production of cryosphere radiation budget products, which are used in the derivation of long-term data series for climate research. In this paper, a new ...
