Retrieval of XCO2 from simulated Orbiting Carbon Observatory measurements using the fast linearized R-2OS radiative transfer model
[1] In a recent paper, we introduced a novel technique to compute the polarization in a vertically inhomogeneous, scattering-absorbing medium using a two orders of scattering (2OS) radiative transfer (RT) model. The 2OS computation is an order of magnitude faster than a full multiple scattering scalar calculation and can be implemented as an auxiliary code to compute polarization in operational...
متن کاملThe influence of cloud top variability from radar measurements on 3-D radiative transfer
In radiative transfer simulations the simplification of cloud top structure by homogeneous assumptions can cause mistakes in comparison to realistic heterogeneous cloud top structures. This paper examines the influence of cloud top heterogeneity on the radiation at the top of the atmosphere. The use of cloud top measurements with a high temporal resolution allows the analysis of small spatial c...
متن کاملEstimating forest parameters from top of atmosphere multi-angular radiance data using coupled radiative transfer models
Traditionally, the estimation of forest parameters using physically-based canopy radiative transfer models (RT) requires correcting the remote sensing data to top-of-canopy (TOC) level by inverting an atmosphere RT model. By coupling the same canopy and atmosphere models, it is possible to simulate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance and to work directly with the measured TOA radiance data, th...
متن کاملMatching radiative transfer models and radiosonde data from the EPS/Metop Sodankylä campaign to IASI measurements
Radiances observed from IASI are compared to calculated ones. Calculated radiances are obtained using several radiative transfer models (OSS, LBLRTM v11.3 and v11.6) on best estimates of the atmospheric state vectors. The atmospheric state vectors are derived from cryogenic frost point hygrometer and humidity dry bias corrected RS92 measurements flown on sondes launched 1 h and 5 min before IAS...
متن کاملCloud parameters from a combination of infrared and microwave measurements
Clouds are both absorbers of outgoing longwave radiation and reflectors of incoming solar radiation. Due to their crucial role, the knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution and the optical properties of globally distributed clouds are of fundamental importance to the understanding of the radiation and heat balance, weather and climate of the earth and the atmosphere. Measurements o...
