متن کاملIce cloud detection from AMSU-A, MHS, and HIRS satelliteinstruments inferred by cloud profiling radar
Ice cloud detection from AMSU-A, MHS, and HIRS satellite instruments inferred by cloud profiling radar" (2014). NASA Publications. Paper 175. An algorithm for ice cloud detection aided by support vector machine (AID-SVM) is presented. The AID-SVM algorithm is applied and tested for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A, microwave humidity sounder (MHS), and high resolution infrared radiation s...
متن کاملSimulations of Infrared Radiances over a Deep Convective Cloud System Observed during TC4: Potential for Enhancing Nocturnal Ice Cloud Retrievals
Retrievals of ice cloud properties using infrared measurements at 3.7, 6.7, 7.3, 8.5, 10.8, and 12.0 μm can provide consistent results regardless of solar illumination, but OPEN ACCESS Remote Sens. 2012, 4 3023 are limited to cloud optical thicknesses τ < ~6. This paper investigates the variations in radiances at these wavelengths over a deep convective cloud system for their potential to exten...

متن کاملImplementation of cloud retrievals for TES atmospheric retrievals: 2. Characterization of cloud top pressure and effective optical depth retrievals
[1] We characterize and validate the cloud products from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) by comparing TES estimates of effective cloud optical depth and cloud top height to those from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (on EOS) (MODIS), the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), and to simulated data. TES measures in the infrared spectral region (650–2260 cm ), where c...
