Global Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud detection and height evaluation using CALIOP
[1] A global 2-month comparison is presented between the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for both cloud detection and cloud top height (CTH) retrievals. Both CALIOP and MODIS are part of the NASA A-Train constellation of satellites and provide continuous near-coincident measurements that result in over 28 mi...
متن کاملShortwave direct radiative effects of above-cloud aerosols over global oceans derived from 8 years of CALIOP and MODIS observations
In this paper, we studied the frequency of occurrence and shortwave direct radiative effects (DREs) of abovecloud aerosols (ACAs) over global oceans using 8 years (2007–2014) of collocated CALIOP and MODIS observations. Similar to previous work, we found high ACA occurrence in four regions: southeastern (SE) Atlantic region, where ACAs are mostly light-absorbing aerosols, i.e., smoke and pollut...
متن کاملNighttime Multilayered Cloud Detection Using MODIS and ARM Data
This study reports on recent progress toward the discrimination between pixels containing multilayered clouds, specifically optically thin cirrus overlying lower-level water clouds, and those containing single-layered clouds in nighttime Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Cloud heights are determined from analysis of the 15-mm CO2 band data (i.e., the CO2-slicing method...
متن کاملPolar Cloud Detection using MISR and MODIS Data
Global climate models predict that the strongest dependences of surface temperatures on increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels will occur in the Arctic and this region temperature increment can lead to global temperature increase (Charlock and Ramanathan 1985). A systematical study of this relationship requires accurate global scale measurements, especially the cloud coverage, in polar re...
متن کاملMODIS Collection 6 shortwave-derived cloud phase classification algorithm and comparisons with CALIOP
Cloud thermodynamic phase (ice, liquid, undetermined) classification is an important first step for cloud retrievals from passive sensors such as MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). Because ice and liquid phase clouds have very different scattering and absorbing properties, an incorrect cloud phase decision can lead to substantial errors in the cloud optical and microphysical...
