Abstract: he detection of multilayer cloud situations is important for satellite retrieval algorithms and for many climate-related applications. In this paper, the authors describe an algorithm based on the exploitation of the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the important difference in the relationship between brightness temperatures between the 11-?m and the 12-?n AVHRR data and the microphysical properties of the semitransparent cirrus clouds. In the ...

Abstract: An algorithm that allows an automatic analysis of cirrus properties from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) observations is presented. Further investigations of the information content and physical meaning ...
