Abstract: Reflected solar radiation measured by the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) is currently used within the European Space Agency?s ground segment for the retrieval of ...

Abstract: A novel and unique algorithm for the retrieval of multilayer cloud-top pressure is presented, relying on synergetic observations of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) and Advanced Along Track Scanning ...

Abstract: Spaceborne spectrometers like the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on board the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) are widely used for the remote sensing of atmospheric and oceanic properties and make an ...

Abstract: Measurements of the Medium-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on the Environmental Satellite (Envisat) are used for the retrieval of surface pressure above land and ice surfaces. The algorithm is based on the exploitation ...

Abstract: High-resolution boundary-layer water vapor profile observations are essential for understanding the interplay between shallow convection, cloudiness and climate in the trade wind atmosphere. As current observation techniques ...

Abstract: The results of a validation of the European Space Agency?s (ESA) operational Medium-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) cloud-top pressure (CTP) product by airborne lidar measurements are presented. MERIS, mounted on ...

Abstract: The plane-parallel model for the parameterization of clouds in global climate models is examined in order to estimate the effects of the vertical profile of the microphysical parameters on radiative transfer calculations ...

Abstract: Spectral characteristics of the future Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) sensor, which will be launched in January 2009, were used to infer the carbon dioxide column-averaged mixing ratio over liquid water clouds over ocean ...
