Daytime Low Stratiform Cloud Detection on AVHRR Imagery
The near-real time retrieval of low stratiform cloud (LSC) coverage is of vital interest for such disciplines as meteorology, transport safety, economy and air quality. Within this scope, a novel methodology is proposed which provides the LSC occurrence probability estimates for a satellite scene. The algorithm is suited for the 1 × 1 km Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data and...
متن کاملBrdf Correction on Avhrr Imagery for Spain
The free reception of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data keeps a growing interest for the remote sensing community concerned with vegetation studies on regional and global scales. However, the use of AVHRR data for long-term quantitative monitoring requires consistent surface reflectance data. This implies correcting the effects from varying sun sensor target geometries in mu...
متن کاملNighttime Cloud Detection Over the Arctic Using AVHRR Data
Clouds play an important role in the Arctic energy budget. The magnitude and significance of the radiative impact of polar clouds, however, are not well known. Polar nocturnal clouds are often warmer or at the same temperature as the background snow surface, complicating cloud detection. Also, these clouds tend to be thin, with lower emittances than clouds occurring during the summer. Using onl...
متن کاملA New Cloud Detection Algorithm for Nighttime AVHRR/HRPT Data
A new cloud detection algorithm for nighttime Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data has been developed and applied to a large number of images from various locations around Japan. The algorithm is characterized by a recovery function and the use of a two-dimensional histogram. Results obtained after applying the algorithm are presented and compared with those of previous algorit...
متن کاملOn the Relationship between Stratiform Low Cloud Cover and Lower-Tropospheric Stability
Observations in subtropical regions show that stratiform low cloud cover is well correlated with the lower-troposphere stability (LTS), defined as the difference in potential temperature between the 700-hPa level and the surface. The LTS can be regarded as a measure of the strength of the inversion that caps the planetary boundary layer (PBL). A stronger inversion is more effective at trapping ...
