Relationships between Marine Stratus Cloud Optical Depth and Temperature: Inferences from AVHRR Observations

Creator:

Chang, Fu-Lung and Coakley, James A., Jr.

Abstract:

Studies using International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) data have reported decreases in cloud optical depth with increasing temperature, thereby suggesting a positive feedback in cloud optical depth as climate warms. The negative cloud optical depth and temperature relationships are questioned because ISCCP employs threshold assumptions to identify cloudy pixels...
