RISCharacterization of the Cloud-Topped Boundary Layer at the Synoptic Scale Using AVHRR Observations during the SEMAPHORE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite platforms NOAA-11 and -12 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data are used during the daytime to study large sheets of stratocumulus over the North Atlantic Ocean. The application concerns an ...
Interannual Variations of Summer Monsoons: Sensitivity to Cloud Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the interannual variations of the summer monsoons to imposed cloudiness has been studied with a general circulation model using the initial conditions prepared from the European Centre for Medium-Range ...
Interannual Variations of Summer Monsoons: Sensitivity to Cloud Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the interannual variations of the summer monsoons to imposed cloudiness has been studied with a general circulation model using the initial conditions prepared from the European Centre for Medium-Range ...
Cloud Field Identification for Earth Radiation Budget Studies. Part II: Cloud Field Classification for the ScaRaB Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gaining a better understanding of the influence of clouds on the earth's energy budget requires a cloud classification that takes into account cloud height, thickness, and cloud cover. The radiometer ScaRaB (scanner for ...
Large-Scale Analysis of Cirrus Clouds from AVHRR Data: Assessment of Both a Microphysical Index and the Cloud-Top Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
The June–September Low Cloud Cover in Western Central Africa: Mean Spatial Distribution and Diurnal Evolution, and Associated Atmospheric Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWestern central Africa (WCA) was recently shown to be one of the cloudiest areas of the tropics. Analyzing an ensemble of satellite products and surface cloud observations, we show that in June?September, WCA cloud ...
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 ...
