Seasonal cycle of cloud cover analyzed using Meteosat images
A cloud-detection method was used to retrieve cloudy pixels from Meteosat images. High spatial resolution (one pixel), monthly averaged cloud-cover distribution was obtained for a 1-year period. The seasonal cycle of cloud amount was analyzed. Cloud parameters obtained include the total cloud amount and the percentage of occurrence of clouds at three altitudes. Hourly variations of cloud cover ...
متن کاملGeometric Cloud Heights from Meteosat and Avhrr
Geometric cloud height estimation provides an alternative to cloud top temperature methods if two satellites view the same cloud. First we demonstrate the stereo cloud height derivation with a combination of Meteosat 7 and Meteosat 5 5 km resolution Infrared data. Comparison with the temperature technique shows consistency in the majority of the clouds, but some differences. This demonstrates t...
متن کاملA multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملA One-Year Cloud Climatology Derived from the Micro Pulse Lidar
A cloud detection algorithm that attempts to identify all of the significant power returns from the vertical column above the micro pulse lidar at all times was applied to one year of micro pulse lidar data collected at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) central facility near Lamont, Oklahoma. The results of this analysis are ...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of the Impact of Greenhouse Gases on the South Atlantic Ocean Climatology
The National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate System Model (NCAR CCSM, version 3) numerical coupled model is used to understand the climatic impacts on the South Atlantic Ocean due to industrialization and consequent increase of greenhouse gas emission. Two experiments are analyzed: the first one with trace/greenhouse gases at pre-industrial levels and a second one where presen...
