RISMarine Stratocumulus Cloud Fields off the Coast of Southern California Observed Using LANDSAT Imagery. Part II: Textural Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistical measures of the spatial distributions of gray levels (cloud reflectivities) are determined for LANDSAT Multispectral Scanner digital data. Textural properties for twelve stratocumulus cloud fields, seven cumulus ...
Structural and Textural Characteristics of Cirrus Clouds Observed Using High Spatial Resolution LANDSAT Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Twelve cirrus scenes are analyzed to determine textural and structural features using LANDSAT imagery. The main structural characteristics are: 1) cirrus cloud size distributions obey a power law, with larger cloud cells ...
Marine Stratocumulus Cloud Fields off the Coast of Southern California Observed Using LANDSAT Imagery. Part I: Structural Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structural characteristics of stratocumulus cloud fields off the coast of southern California are investigated using LANDSAT Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery. Twelve scenes in this area are examined along with three ...
Polar Cloud and Surface Classification Using AVHRR Imagery: An Intercomparison of Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer local area coverage (AVHPR LAC) arctic scenes are classified into ten classes. These include water, solid sea ice, broken sea ice, snow-covered mountains, snow-free land, and ...
Cumulus Cloud Field Morphology and Spatial Patterns Derived from High Spatial Resolution Landsat Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed observations of cumulus cloud scales and processes are an essential ingredient in models that deal with (i) high spatial resolution cumulus ensembles; and (ii) parameterization of cloud radiative processes. The ...
