CALIPSO/CALIOP Cloud Phase Discrimination Algorithm
The current cloud thermodynamic phase discrimination by Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) is based on the depolarization of backscattered light measured by its lidar [CloudAerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP)]. It assumes that backscattered light from ice crystals is depolarizing, whereas water clouds, being spherical, result in minimal depolarizatio...
متن کاملThe On-orbit Performance of the Caliop Lidar on Calipso
CALIPSO is a joint NASA – CNES satellite currently in its third year of operation in low earth orbit. The satellite is making optical measurements of the Earth’s atmosphere to help quantify the impact of aerosols and clouds on the Earth’s radiation budget. To do this, it carries three instruments: CALIOP, a two-wavelength polarization-sensitive elastic backscatter lidar; the IIR a three band th...
متن کاملFully automated analysis of space-based lidar data: an overview of the CALIPSO retrieval algorithms and data products
The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite will be launched in April of 2005, and will make continuous measurements of the Earth's atmosphere for the following three years. Retrieving the spatial and optical properties of clouds and aerosols from the CALIPSO lidar backscatter data will be confronted by a number of difficulties that are not faced i...
متن کاملAn Overview of Nonlinear Spectral Unmixing Methods in the Processing of Hyperspectral Data
The hyperspectral imagery provides images in hundreds of spectral bands within different wavelength regions. This technology has increasingly applied in different fields of earth sciences, such as minerals exploration, environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban science, and planetary remote sensing. However, despite the ability of these data to detect surface features, the measured spectrum i...
متن کاملthe clustering and classification data mining techniques in insurance fraud detection:the case of iranian car insurance
با توجه به گسترش روز افزون تقلب در حوزه بیمه به خصوص در بخش بیمه اتومبیل و تبعات منفی آن برای شرکت های بیمه، به کارگیری روش های مناسب و کارآمد به منظور شناسایی و کشف تقلب در این حوزه امری ضروری است. درک الگوی موجود در داده های مربوط به مطالبات گزارش شده گذشته می تواند در کشف واقعی یا غیرواقعی بودن ادعای خسارت، مفید باشد. یکی از متداول ترین و پرکاربردترین راه های کشف الگوی داده ها استفاده از ر...
