Retrieval of Cloud Properties for Partly Cloudy Imager Pixels

Creator:

Coakley, James A. Jr., Friedman, Michael A., and Tahnk, William R.

Abstract:

Retrievals of cloud properties from satellite imagery often invoke the assumption that the fields of view are overcast when cloud-contaminated, even though a significant fraction are only partially cloud-covered. The overcast assumption leads to biases in the retrieved cloud properties: cloud amounts and droplet effective radii are typically overestimated, while...
