JP1.10 On the Satellite Determination of Multilayered Multiphase Cloud Properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional single-layer cloud assumptions lead to erroneous results in satellite retrieved cloud properties for multilayered multiphase cloud systems. The Cloud and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project strives to develop an exploratory multilayer cloud data product using the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The new MODIS multilayer cloud products will be available in the upcoming CERES Edition 3 version to provide cloud overlap information and retrieved upperand lower-layer cloud properties that often consist of upper-ice and lower-water clouds. In this study, we present some preliminary comparisons of the multilayer cloud data between the CERES MODIS Edition-3 Beta version and two active sensing data from the Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) (Winker et al. 2007) and the CloudSat (Stephens and Kummerow 2007).

Multilayered Cloud Retrieval Over ARM SGP
Ice water path (IWP) determination is often complicated because of cloud overlap. Current satellite IWP retrievals are usually based on the assumption that all clouds are single-layered, despite the relatively frequent occurrence of overlapped cloud systems. Although IWP can be inferred from retrievals of cloud optical depth and effective ice particle sizes using visible (VIS) and infrared (IR)...

Cloud segmentation is a critical pre-processing step for any multi-spectral satellite image application. In particular, disaster-related applications e.g., flood monitoring or rapid damage mapping, which are highly time and data-critical, require methods that produce accurate cloud masks in a short time while being able to adapt to large variations in the target domain (induced by atmospheric c...

The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملCloud Parameters from Infrared and Microwave Satellite Measurements
Due to the crucial role of clouds, the knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution and the optical properties of globally distributed clouds is of fundamental importance to the understanding of the Earth radiation and heat balance, and of weather and climate of the atmosphere. Measurements of radiation from space play a fundamental role in helping us to understand how radiation depend...

In this work electrodeposited Ni-Cu/Cu metallic multilayered films with different thicknesses of Ni and Cu were prepared on (100) polycrystalline Cu substrates. The nanostructure of the multilayers was studied using XRD. The existence of satellite peaks in the XRD patterns showed that the multilayered films have superlattice structures. The difference between the intensity of ML(200) and ML(11...
