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 کاملSpatiotemporal Variations of Total Cloud Cover and Cloud Optical Thickness in Iran
A knowledge of cloud properties and spatiotemporal variations of clouds is especially crucial to understand the radiative forcing of climate. This research aims to study cloudiness in Iran using the most recent satellite data, powerful databases, and regional and seasonal analyses. In this study, three data series were used for the spatiotemporal variations of cloudiness in the country: A) Clou...
متن کاملObserved Covariations of Aerosol Optical Depth and Cloud Cover in Extratropical Cyclones
Using NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aerosol optical depth and total cloud cover retrievals, CloudSat-CALIPSO cloud profiles, and a database of extratropical cyclones and frontal boundary locations, relationships between changes in aerosol optical depth and cloud cover in extratropical cyclones occurring over Northern Hemisphere oceans are examined. A reanalysis data set is ...
متن کاملTranspolar arcs observed simultaneously in both hemispheres
Two coexisting transpolar arcs are observed on 31 August 2005. We track the formation and motion of the arcs in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, using data from two independent satellites (Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration and a Defence Meteorological Satellite Program satellite). The observations are supported by supplementary ground-based ionospheric convection d...
