The CALIPSO Mission: A Global 3D View of Aerosols and Clouds

Creator:

Winker, D. M., Pelon, J., Coakley, J. A. Jr., Ackerman, S. A., Charlson, R. J., Colarco, P. R., Flamant, P., Fu, Q., Hoff, R. M., Kittaka, C., Kubar, T. L., Le Treut, H., McCormick, M. P., Megie, G., Poole, L., Powell, K., Trepte, C., Vaughan, M. A., and Wielicki, B. A.

Abstract:

Aerosols and clouds have important effects on Earth's climate through their effects on the radiation budget and the cycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Limitations in our understanding of the global distribution and properties of aerosols and clouds are partly responsible for the current uncertainties in modeling...

Relationships among properties of marine stratocumulus derived from collocated CALIPSO and MODIS observations

Creator:

Hayes, C. R., Coakley, J. A. Jr., and Tahnk, W. R.

Abstract:

Collocated Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery and Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) 532 nm total attenuated backscatter coefficients were used to identify 50 km scale segments for ocean regions that had only a single layer of marine stratocumulus. On the basis of whether the underlying ocean...
