RISCloud Cover Analysis from Satellite Imagery Using Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of the Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New developments of a cloud classification scheme based on histogram clustering by a statistical method are presented. Use of time series of geostationary satellite pictures as well as for construction of composite images ...
Automatic Classification of Clouds on METEOSAT Imagery: Application to High-Level Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical classification method based on clustering on three-dimensional histograms is applied to the three channels of the METEOSAT imagery [Visible (VIS)?Infrared Window (IR)?Infrared Water Vapor (WV)]. The results ...
A Land and Ocean Microwave Cloud Classification Algorithm Derived from AMSU-A and -B, Trained Using MSG-SEVIRI Infrared and Visible Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: statistical cloud classification and cloud mask algorithm is developed based on Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A and -B) microwave (MW) observations. The visible and infrared data from the Meteosat Third ...
A Synergistic Analysis of Cloud Cover and Vertical Distribution from A-Train and Ground-Based Sensors over the High Arctic Station Eureka from 2006 to 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ctive remote sensing instruments such as lidar and radar allow one to accurately detect the presence of clouds and give information on their vertical structure and phase. To better address cloud radiative impact over the ...
Comparison of High-Cloud Characteristics as Estimated by Selected Spaceborne Observations and Ground-Based Lidar Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characterization of high clouds as performed from selected spaceborne observations is assessed in this article by employing a number of worldwide ground-based lidar multiyear datasets as reference. Among the latter, ...
