RISDetermination of Longwave Anisotropic Emission Factors from Combined Broad-and Narrowband Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conversion of measured radiances into radiative fluxes requires application of angular corrections; in the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), the longwave anisotropic emission factors (AEFS) were tabulated for ...
Clouds as Seen by Satellite Sounders (3I) and Imagers (ISCCP). Part II: A New Approach for Cloud Parameter Determination in the 3I Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: First comparisons of improved initialization inversion (3I) cloud parameters determined from TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder observations with time?space-collocated clouds from the recently reprocessed International ...
Cloud Field Identification for Earth Radiation Budget Studies. Part I: Cloud Field Classification Using HIRS-MSU Sounder Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Onboard the NOAA satellites, the High-Resolution Infrared Sounder (HIRS) with its 20 channels, combined with the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU), provides a powerful tool for cloud field classification at a spatial resolution ...
Evaluation of Cirrus Parameterizations for Radiative Flux Computations in Climate Models Using TOVS–ScaRaB Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Combined simultaneous satellite observations are used to evaluate the performance of parameterizations of the microphysical and optical properties of cirrus clouds used for radiative flux computations in climate models. ...
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. ...
Retrieving the Clear-Sky Vertical Longwave Radiative Budget from TOVS: Comparison of a Neural Network–Based Retrieval and a Method UsingGeophysical Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At a time when a new generation of satellite vertical sounders is going to be launched (including the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and Advanced Infrared Radiometric Sounder instruments), this paper assesses ...
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 ...
Cloud Properties and Their Seasonal and Diurnal Variability from TOVS Path-B
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight years of cloud properties retrieved from Television Infrared Observation Satellite-N (TIROS-N) Observational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) observations aboard the NOAA polar orbiting satellites are presented. The relatively ...
