RISAdvances in Extracting Cloud Composition Information from Spaceborne Infrared Radiances—A Robust Alternative to Brightness Temperatures. Part I: Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared measurements can be used to obtain quantitative information on cloud microphysics, including cloud composition (ice, liquid water, ash, dust, etc.), with the advantage that the measurements are independent of solar ...
Gazing at Cirrus Clouds for 25 Years through a Split Window. Part I: Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates that the split-window approach for estimating cloud properties can improve upon the methods commonly used for generating cloud temperature and emissivity climatologies from satellite imagers. Because ...
Global Daytime Distribution of Overlapping Cirrus Cloud from NOAA’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA?s) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument are used to provide the mean July and January global daytime distributions of multilayer ...
Antarctic Cloud Radiative Forcing at the Surface Estimated from the AVHRR Polar Pathfinder and ISCCP D1 Datasets, 1985–93
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface cloud radiative forcing from the newly extended Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Polar Pathfinder (APP-x) dataset and surface cloud radiative forcing calculated using cloud and surface properties ...
Daytime Cloud Overlap Detection from AVHRR and VIIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two algorithms for detecting multilayered cloud systems with satellite data are presented. The first algorithm utilizes data in the 0.65-, 11-, and 12-?m regions of the spectrum that are available on the Advanced Very High ...
Daytime Global Cloud Typing from AVHRR and VIIRS: Algorithm Description, Validation, and Comparisons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three multispectral algorithms for determining the cloud type of previously identified cloudy pixels during the daytime, using satellite imager data, are presented. Two algorithms were developed for use with 0.65-, 1.6-/3.75-, ...
A Study of the Antarctic Surface Energy Budget Using a Polar Regional Atmospheric Model Forced with Satellite-Derived Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud properties from the newly extended Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Polar Pathfinder (APP-x) dataset were incorporated into the atmospheric component of the Arctic Regional Climate System Model (ARCSyM) ...
Comparison of NOAA's Operational AVHRR-Derived Cloud Amount to Other Satellite-Derived Cloud Climatologies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison is made between a new operational NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) global cloud amount product to those from established satellite-derived cloud climatologies. The new operational NOAA ...
The Development and Initial Capabilities of ThunderCast, a Deep Learning Model for Thunderstorm Nowcasting in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Evolution of Severe and Nonsevere Convection Inferred from GOES-Derived Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eostationary satellites [e.g., the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)] provide high temporal resolution of cloud development and motion, which is essential to the study of many mesoscale phenomena, ...
