Examination of POLDER/PARASOL and MODIS/Aqua Cloud Fractions and Properties Representativeness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Polarization and Anisotropy of Reflectances for Atmospheric Sciences Coupled with Observations from a Lidar (PARASOL) and Aqua are two satellites on sun-synchronous orbits in the A-Train constellation. Aboard these two ...
Prediction of the Onset of Heavy Rain Using SEVIRI Cloud Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThunderstorms and strong precipitation events can be highly variable in space and time and therefore are challenging to forecast. Geostationary satellites are particularly well suited for studying their occurrence ...
Toward New Inferences about Cloud Structures from Multidirectional Measurements in the Oxygen A Band: Middle-of-Cloud Pressure and Cloud Geometrical Thickness from POLDER-3/PARASOL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New evidence from collocated measurements, with support from theory and numerical simulations, that multidirectional measurements in the oxygen A band from the third Polarization and Directionality of the Earth?s Reflectances ...
Comparison of PARASOL Observations with Polarized Reflectances Simulated Using Different Ice Habit Mixtures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nsufficient knowledge of the habit distribution and the degree of surface roughness of ice crystals within ice clouds is a source of uncertainty in the forward light scattering and radiative transfer simulations of ice ...
Remote Sensing of Liquid Water and Ice Cloud Optical Thickness and Effective Radius in the Arctic: Application of Airborne Multispectral MAS Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multispectral scanning spectrometer was used to obtain measurements of the bidirectional reflectance and brightness temperature of clouds, sea ice, snow, and tundra surfaces at 50 discrete wavelengths between 0.47 and ...
Toward Global Harmonization of Derived Cloud Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A new benchmark for surface radiation products over the East Asia-Pacific region retrieved from the Himawari-8/AHI next-generation geostationary satellite
