Systematic and random errors between collocated satellite ice water path observations
[1] There remains large disagreement between ice-water path (IWP) in observational data sets, largely because the sensors observe different parts of the ice particle size distribution. A detailed comparison of retrieved IWP from satellite observations in the Tropics (!30" latitude) in 2007 was made using collocated measurements. The radio detection and ranging(radar)/light detection and ranging...
متن کاملMapping random and systematic errors of satellite-derived snow water equivalent observations in Eurasia
Passive microwave sensors onboard satellites can provide global snow water equivalent (SWE) observations day or night, even under cloudy conditions. However, there are both systematic (bias) and random errors associated with the passive microwave measurements. While these errors are well known, they have thus far not been adequately quantified. In this study, unbiased SWE maps, random error map...
متن کاملDetermination of Ice Water Path Over the ARM SGP Using Combined Surface and Satellite Datasets
Global information of cloud ice water path (IWP) is urgently needed for testing of global climate models (GCMs) and other applications. Accurate quantification of the IWP is essential for characterizing the hydrological and radiation budget. For example, the reflection of shortwave radiation by ice clouds reduces the solar energy reaching the earth’s surface. Ice clouds can also trap the longwa...
متن کاملRelationship Between TOA Albedo and Cloud Optical Depth as Deduced from Models and Collocated AVHRR and ERBE Satellite Observations
It has long been recognized that clouds have a large influence on the earth’s radiation budget and climate. Current cloud and radiation research programs, such as the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program, play important roles in obtaining an accurate knowledge of clouds and radiation and their interactions. The study of the rel...
