The spatial-scale dependence of the observed anisotropy of reflected and emitted radiation

Creator:

Ye, Qian

Abstract:

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) uses Angular Dependence Models (ADMs) to convert satellite observed radiances to radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere. Owing to errors in scene identification and to the relationship between the spatial scales of cloud systems and the spatial resolution of the ERBE scanner,...

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...
