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...

Toward the estimation of errors in cloud cover derived by threshold methods

Creator:

Chang, Fu-Lung

Abstract:

The accurate determination of cloud cover amount is important for characterizing the role of cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Clouds have a large influence on the climate system through their effect on the earth's radiation budget. As indicated by the NASA Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), the change in...
