Retrieval of cloud spherical albedo from top-of-atmosphere reflectance measurements performed at a single observation angle
The paper is aimed to the derivation of the simple analytical relationship between the cloud spherical albedo and the cloud reflection function in the visible. The relationship obtained can be used for the retrieval of the spherical albedo from backscattered solar light measurements performed by radiometers on geostationary and polar orbiting satellites. The example of the application of the te...
متن کاملCloud optical thickness and albedo retrievals from bidirectional reflectance measurements of POLDER instruments during ACE-2
The POLDER instrument is devoted to global observations of the solar radiation reflected by the Earth–atmosphere system. The airborne version of the instrument was operated during the ACE-2 experiment, more particularly as a component of the CLOUDYCOLUMN project of ACE-2 that was conducted in summer 1997 over the subtropical northeastern Atlantic ocean. CLOUDYCOLUMN is a coordinated project spe...
متن کاملRetrieval of Land Surface Reflectance and Albedo from Meris Data
An atmospheric correction algorithm for the retrieval of land surface reflectance from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data has been implemented. The algorithm is designed to obtain the main atmospheric parameters needed in the correction from the image itself, leading to an optimal characterization of the atmospheric state, in temporal and spatial resolution terms. The first...
متن کاملObservation of single top at CDF
We present observation of electroweak single top quark production using 3.2 fb−1 of data collected by the CDF experiment. Candidate events are selected for further classification by five parallel analysis techniques: one using a likelihood discriminant, one using a matrix-element discriminant, one using decision trees, one using a neural network, and one using a complementary dataset. The resul...
متن کاملTop-of-Atmosphere Albedo Estimation from Angular Distribution Models Using Scene Identification from Satellite Cloud Property Retrievals
The next generation of earth radiation budget satellite instruments will routinely merge estimates of global top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes with cloud properties. This information will offer many new opportunities for validating radiative transfer models and cloud parameterizations in climate models. In this study, five months of Polarization and Directionality of the Earth’s Reflectances 6...
