RISEvaluation of a Statistical Model of Cloud Vertical Structure Using Combined CloudSat and CALIPSO Cloud Layer Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of the three-dimensional distribution of clouds was developed from the statistics of cloud layer occurrence from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the statistics of cloud vertical ...
A Statistical Model of Cloud Vertical Structure Based on Reconciling Cloud Layer Amounts Inferred from Satellites and Radiosonde Humidity Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To diagnose how cloud processes feed back on weather- and climate-scale variations of the atmosphere requires determining the changes that clouds produce in the atmospheric diabatic heating by radiation and precipitation ...
Radiative Effects of Cloud-Type Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative flux changes induced by the occurrence of different cloud types are investigated using International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project cloud data and a refined radiative transfer model from National Aeronautics ...
Cloud and Radiation Variations Associated with Northern Midlatitude Low and High Sea Level Pressure Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global meteorological dataset, a global satellite dataset, and a radiative transfer model are combined to map the cloud types in low, near-normal, and high sea level pressure regimes in the northern midlatitudes, and to ...
Cloud Vertical Structure and Its Variations from a 20-Yr Global Rawinsonde Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global cloud vertical structure (CVS) climatic dataset is created by applying an analysis method to a 20-yr collection of twice-daily rawinsonde humidity profiles to estimate the height of cloud layers. The CVS dataset ...
Atmospheric Diabatic Heating in Different Weather States and the General Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalysis of multiple global satellite products identifies distinctive weather states of the atmosphere from the mesoscale pattern of cloud properties and quantifies the associated diabatic heating/cooling by radiative flux ...
Global Weather States and Their Properties from Passive and Active Satellite Cloud Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors apply a clustering algorithm to International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) cloud optical thickness?cloud top pressure histograms in order to derive weather states (WSs) for the ...
Evaluations of Land–Ocean Skin Temperatures of the ISCCP Satellite Retrievals and the NCEP and ERA Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluates the skin temperature (ST) datasets of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) D satellite product, the ISCCP FD satellite product, the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40), the NCEP?NCAR ...
An Intercomparison of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Satellite- and Ground-Based Cloud Datasets Using Spectral Analysis Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecause of the importance of clouds in modulating Earth?s energy budget, it is critical to understand their variability in space and time for climate and modeling studies. This study examines the consistency of the ...
