RISInference of Cirrus Cloud Properties Using Satellite-observed Visible and Infrared Radiances. Part II: Verification of Theoretical Cirrus Radiative Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology is developed to apply a parameterization of radiative transfer calculations to satellite analyses of cirrus clouds. Cloud heights and optical depths are derived from visible and infrared window measurements ...
Integration of Satellite and Surface Data Using a Radiative–Convective Oceanic Boundary-Layer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mixing-line boundary-layer model is used to retrieve cloud-top height from satellite-derived cloud-top temperature using 700-hPa National Meteorological Center (NMC) analyses and the Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere ...
Examination of New CERES Data for Evidence of Tropical Iris Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New data products from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite have been examined in the context of the recently proposed adaptive tropical ...
Examination of the Relationship between Outgoing Infrared Window and Total Longwave Fluxes Using Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between narrowband and broadband thermal radiances is explored to determine the accuracy of outgoing longwave radiation derived from narrowband data. Infrared window (10.2?12.2 ?m) data from the Geostationary ...
Validation of the CERES/TRMM ERBE-Like Monthly Mean Clear-Sky Longwave Dataset and the Effects of the 1998 ENSO Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration space-borne measurement project for monitoring the radiation environment of the earth?atmosphere system. The ...
Stratocumulus Cloud Properties Derived from Simultaneous Satellite and Island-based Instrumentation during FIRE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud parameters derived from visible and infrared window data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) are compared to corresponding properties determined from instrumentation on San Nicolas Island ...
The 27–28 October 1986 FIRE IFO Cirrus Case Study: Cirrus Parameter Relationships Derived from Satellite and Lidar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cirrus cloud radiative and physical characteristics are determined using a combination of ground-based aircraft, and satellite measurements taken as part of the FIRE Cirrus Intensive Field observations (IFO) during October ...
Rapid Calibration of Operational and Research Meteorological Satellite Imagers. Part I: Evaluation of Research Satellite Visible Channels as References
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Operational meteorological satellites generally lack reliable onboard calibration systems for solar-imaging channels. Current methods for calibrating these channels and for normalizing similar channels on contemporaneous ...
Rapid Calibration of Operational and Research Meteorological Satellite Imagers. Part II: Comparison of Infrared Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To establish a more reliable reference instrument for calibration normalization, this paper examines the differences between the various thermal infrared imager channels on a set of research and operational satellites. ...
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite. Part II: Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) are estimated from empirical angular distribution models (ADMs) that convert instantaneous radiance measurements to TOA ...
