Properties of low-level marine clouds as deduced from advanced very high resolution radiometer satellite observations

Creator:

Chang, Fu-Lung

Abstract:

A radiation model was developed for retrieving cloud visible optical depth, droplet effective radius, and cloud top emission temperature using AVHRR satellite observations at 0.63, 3.7, and 11 μm. The model was used to determine the sensitivity of the retrieved properties to various approximations often employed in such retrievals. Droplet...
