Critical Evaluation of the ISCCP Simulator Using Ground-Based Remote Sensing Data
Given the known shortcomings in representing clouds in global climate models (GCMs), comparisons with observations are critical. The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) diagnostic products provide global descriptions of cloud-top pressure and column optical depth that extend over multiple decades. Given the characteristics of the ISCCP product, the model output must be con...
متن کاملThe International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP): The First Project of the World Climate Research Programme
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) has been approved as the first project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and will begin its operational phase in July 1983. Its basic objective is to collect and analyze satellite radiance data to infer the global distribution of cloud radiative properties in order to improve the modeling of cloud effects on climate. ISC...
متن کاملWhat do we really know about cloud changes over the past decades?
Clouds are a critical component of Earth’s climate system. Although satellite-based irradiance measurements are available over approximately the past 30 years, difficulties in measuring clouds means it is unclear how global cloud properties have changed over this period. From the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ...
متن کاملEvaluation of International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (isccp) D2 Cloud Amount Changes and Their Connections to Large-scale Dynamics
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) D2 dataset exhibits a 2.6% per decade decrease in the global all-cloud cloud amount from July 1983 through September 2001. This result is consistent with other recent findings that provide evidence that the cloud amount has decreased on a decadal-scale. Such changes in cloud amount should have an obvious impact on the climate system ...
متن کاملTropical cloud and precipitation regimes as seen from near-simultaneous TRMM, CloudSat, and CALIPSO observations and comparison with ISCCP
Although Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and CloudSat/CALIPSO fly in different orbits, they frequently cross each other so that for the period between 2006 and 2010, a total of 15,986 intersect lines occurred within 20 min of each other from 30°S to 30°N, providing a rare opportunity to study tropical cloud and precipitation regimes and their internal vertical structure from near-sim...
