متن کاملCombined CloudSat‐CALIPSO‐MODIS retrievals of the properties of ice clouds
[1] In this paper, data from spaceborne radar, lidar and infrared radiometers on the “A‐Train” of satellites are combined in a variational algorithm to retrieve ice cloud properties. The method allows a seamless retrieval between regions where both radar and lidar are sensitive to the regions where one detects the cloud. We first implement a cloud phase identification method, including identifi...
متن کاملCALIPSO observations of transatlantic dust: vertical stratification and effect of clouds
We use CALIOP nighttime measurements of lidar backscatter, color and depolarization ratios, as well as particulate retrievals during the summer of 2007 to study transatlantic dust properties downwind of Saharan sources, and to examine the influence of nearby clouds on dust. Our analysis suggests that (1) under clear skies, while lidar backscatter and color ratio do not change much with altitude...
