Daytime Land Surface Temperature Extraction from MODIS Thermal Infrared Data under Cirrus Clouds
Simulated data showed that cirrus clouds could lead to a maximum land surface temperature (LST) retrieval error of 11.0 K when using the generalized split-window (GSW) algorithm with a cirrus optical depth (COD) at 0.55 μm of 0.4 and in nadir view. A correction term in the COD linear function was added to the GSW algorithm to extend the GSW algorithm to cirrus cloudy conditions. The COD was acq...
متن کاملDetecting Cirrus-Overlapping-Water Clouds and Retrieving their Optical Properties Using MODIS Data
Different methods have been proposed to detect multilayer clouds using passive remote sensing data. Baum et al. (1995) used the CO2-slicing technique applied to the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) data to determine cirrus cloud heights. The spatial coherence technique (Coakley and Bretherton 1982) was applied to the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data to dete...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract A set of 813 lidar profiles of tropospheric aerosol and cirrus clouds extinction and de-polarization observed at Rome, Italy, between February 2001 and February 2002 is analyzed and discussed. The yearly record reveals a meaningful contribution of both ci...
متن کاملdust detection using improved tiidi and applying modis sensor data
introduction thermal infrared integrated dust index (tiidi) is one of indices that is presented in this direction. the index operates based on four brightness temperature difference including wavelengths 3.7, 8.6, 11 and 12 micrometer. according to the studies, btd (bt12-bt11) is used for cloud detection. btd (bt8.6-bt11) is the index for separation for dust from sandy surface and btd (bt3.7-bt...
متن کاملDetection of Daytime Arctic Clouds using MISR and MODIS Data
Amongst the 36 spectral radiances available on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) seven of them are used operationally for detection of clouds in daytime polar regions. While the information content of clouds inherent in spectral radiances is familiar, the information content of clouds contained in angular radiances (i.e., radiances emanating to space from the same object...
