Physically Retrieving Cloud and Thermodynamic Parameters from Ultraspectral IR Measurements
A physical inversion scheme has been developed dealing with cloudy as well as cloud-free radiance observed with ultraspectral infrared sounders to simultaneously retrieve surface, atmospheric thermodynamic, and cloud microphysical parameters. A fast radiative transfer model, which applies to the clouded atmosphere, is used for atmospheric profile and cloud parameter retrieval. A one-dimensional...

متن کاملCloud parameters from a combination of infrared and microwave measurements
Clouds are both absorbers of outgoing longwave radiation and reflectors of incoming solar radiation. Due to their crucial role, the knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution and the optical properties of globally distributed clouds are of fundamental importance to the understanding of the radiation and heat balance, weather and climate of the earth and the atmosphere. Measurements o...
متن کاملCloud Parameters from Infrared and Microwave Satellite Measurements
Due to the crucial role of clouds, the knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution and the optical properties of globally distributed clouds is of fundamental importance to the understanding of the Earth radiation and heat balance, and of weather and climate of the atmosphere. Measurements of radiation from space play a fundamental role in helping us to understand how radiation depend...
متن کاملA spectral method for retrieving cloud optical thickness and effective radius from surface-based transmittance measurements
We introduce a new spectral method for the retrieval of optical thickness and effective radius from cloud transmittance that relies on the spectral slope of the normalized transmittance between 1565 nm and 1634 nm, and on cloud transmittance at a visible wavelength. The standard dual-wavelength technique, which is traditionally used in reflectance-based retrievals, is ill-suited for transmittan...
