Global Distribution of Cloud Top Height as Retrieved from SCIAMACHY Onboard ENVISAT Spaceborne Observations
The spatial and temporal analysis of the SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) onboard ENVISAT global cloud top height data for 2003–2006 is presented. The cloud top height is derived using a semi-analytical cloud top height retrieval algorithm based on an asymptotic solution of the radiative transfer equation in the oxygen A-band. The analysis is val...
متن کاملCloud Retrieval for Sciamachy
The ENVISAT Satellite Payload includes the SCIAMACHY instrument designed to measure a number of chemically important atmospheric trace constituents on a global basis. Accurate determination of cloud information out of SCIAMACHY nadir measurements is needed for the retrieval of ozone and other trace gases and it is crucial for more demanding applications like aerosol retrieval and the retrieval ...
متن کاملGlobal Sciamachy Cloud Products
The Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) measures the nadir top-of-atmosphere reflectance in the spectral range 0.24-2.4 μm with a high spectral resolution (0.2-0.5nm for most of channels) and is capable to provide information on the vertical columns and profiles of trace gases. In addition, global aerosol and cloud characteristics such as, e.g., the...
متن کاملStereo cloud-top height retrieval with ASTER and MISR
The combined multi-view photogrammetric retrieval of cloud-top height (CTH) from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is discussed. Although ASTER was designed mainly for land applications, the synergistic use of MISR and ASTER is shown to be valuable for 3D cloud analysis. A new cloud-adapted matching al...
متن کاملRetrieval of nitric oxide in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere from SCIAMACHY limb spectra
We use the ultra-violet (UV) spectra in the range 230–300 nm from the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) to retrieve the nitric oxide (NO) number densities from atmospheric emissions in the gamma-bands in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Using 3-D ray tracing, a 2-D retrieval grid, and regularisation with respect to altitude and latitude, we ...
