Joint statistics of photon pathlength and cloud optical depth

Measurement of aerosol optical depth and sub-visual cloud detection using the optical depth sensor (ODS)

A small and sophisticated optical depth sensor (ODS) has been designed to work in the atmosphere of Mars. The instrument measures alternatively the diffuse radiation from the sky and the attenuated direct radiation from the Sun on the surface. The principal goals of ODS are to retrieve the daily mean aerosol optical depth (AOD) and to detect very high and optically thin clouds, crucial paramete...

asymptotic property of order statistics and sample quntile

چکیده: فرض کنید که تابعی از اپسیلون یک مجموع نامتناهی از احتمالات موزون مربوط به مجموع های جزئی براساس یک دنباله از متغیرهای تصادفی مستقل و همتوزیع باشد، و همچنین فرض کنید توابعی مانند g و h وجود دارند که هرگاه امید ریاضی توان دوم x متناهی و امیدریاضی x صفر باشد، در این صورت می توان حد حاصلضرب این توابع را بصورت تابعی از امید ریاضی توان دوم x نوشت. حالت عکس نیز برقرار است. همچنین ما با استفاده...

Spatiotemporal 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...

Joint multipartite photon statistics by on/off detection.

We demonstrate a method to reconstruct the joint photon statistics of two or more modes of radiation by using on/off photodetection performed at different quantum efficiencies. The two-mode case is discussed in detail, and experimental results are presented for the bipartite states obtained after a beam splitter fed by a single photon state or a thermal state.
