RISISCCP Global Radiance Data Set: A New Resource for Climate Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Operational data-collection phase of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project(ISCCP) began in July 1983 as an element of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). Since then, raw images from an international ...
Structural Characteristics and Radiative Properties of Tropical Cloud Clusters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By identifying individual tropical cloud clusters in eight months of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project data, the size distribution, average cloud properties, and their variation with system size in ...
Estimating Meridional Energy Transports by the Atmospheric and Oceanic General Circulations Using Boundary Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual-mean meridional energy transport in the atmosphere?ocean system (total transport) is estimated using 4-yr mean net radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) calculated from the International Satellite ...
The Role of Clear-Sky Identification in the Study of Cloud Radiative Effects: Combined Analysis from ISCCP and the Scanner of Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two additional narrowband channels of the Scanner of Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) instrument should improve the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) cloud scene identification. Applying the original International Satellite ...
Implementation of Subgrid Cloud Vertical Structure inside a GCM and Its Effect on the Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) GCM (general circulation model) predicts stratiform and convective cloud cover and optical thickness at nine atmospheric levels in horizontal grid boxes of 4° lat ? 5° long. ...
Life Cycle Variations of Mesoscale Convective Systems over the Americas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using GOES-7 ISCCP-B3 satellite data for 1987?88, the authors studied the evolution of the morphological and radiative properties of clouds over the life cycles of deep convective systems (CS) over the Americas at both ...
Clouds as Seen by Satellite Sounders (3I) and Imagers (ISCCP). Part III: Spatial Heterogeneity and Radiative Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Their relatively good spectral resolution makes infrared sounders very useful for the determination of cloud properties (day and night), and their coarse spatial resolution has less effect on clouds with large spatial ...
Clouds as Seen by Satellite Sounders (3I) and Imagers (ISCCP). Part I: Evaluation of Cloud Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The improved initialization inversion (3I) algorithms convert TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder observations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar-orbiting environmental satellites into ...
ISCCP Cloud Algorithm Intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) will provide a uniform global climatology of satellite-measured radiances and derive an experimental climatology of cloud radiative properties from these ...
