RISEvaluation of AIRS Cloud-Thermodynamic-Phase Determination with CALIPSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) infrared-based cloud-thermodynamic-phase retrievals are evaluated using the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) cloud thermodynamic phase. The ...
Daytime Multilayered Cloud Detection Using Multispectral Imager Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study reports on recent progress toward the daytime detection of multilayered clouds in satellite multispectral data, specifically for the case of optically thin cirrus overlying lower-level water clouds. The technique ...
Limitations of Bispectral Infrared Cloud Phase Determination and Potential for Improvement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Determining cloud thermodynamic phase using infrared satellite observations typically requires a priori assumptions about relationships between cloud phase and cloud temperature. In this study, limitations of an approach ...
Application of CALIOP Measurements to the Evaluation of Cloud Phase Derived from MODIS Infrared Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) infrared-based cloud thermodynamic phase retrievals are evaluated using Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) retrievals for the 6 ...
Influence of Cloud-Top Height and Geometric Thickness on a MODIS Infrared-Based Ice Cloud Retrieval
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The retrieval of ice cloud microphysical and optical properties from satellite-based infrared observation remains a challenging research topic, partly because of the sensitivity of observed infrared radiances to many surface ...
Detection of Optically Thin Mineral Dust Aerosol Layers over the Ocean Using MODIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalyses show that several existing Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) dust detection techniques, including an approach based on simple brightness temperature difference thresholds, the D-parameter method, ...
Is the Awareness of the Aerosol State Useful in Predicting Enhanced Lightning for Lightning-Producing Storms over Northern Alabama?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from the Terra and Aqua satellites currently provide the largest satellite aerosol dataset for investigating relationships ...
The Development of Midlatitude Cirrus Models for MODIS Using FIRE-I, FIRE-II, and ARM In Situ Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed in situ data from cirrus clouds have been collected during dedicated field campaigns, but the use of the size and habit distribution data has been lagging in the development of more realistic cirrus scattering ...
Comparing MODIS and AIRS Infrared-Based Cloud Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omparisons are described for infrared-derived cloud products retrieved from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) using measured spatial response functions ...
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 ...
