Evolution over two decades of the tropical
18 The interannual variability of cloud properties in a tropical subsidence area (South 19 Atlantic Ocean) is examined using 23 years of ISCCP cloud fractions and optical depths, 20 complemented with ISCCP/Meteosat visible reflectance and a four-years comparison with 21 CALIPSO-GOCCP products. The mean seasonal cloud properties are examined in the area, as 22 their interannual evolution. Circul...
متن کاملThe ’too few, too bright’ tropical low-cloud problem in CMIP5 models
[1] Previous generations of climate models have been shown to under-estimate the occurrence of tropical low-level clouds and to over-estimate their radiative effects. This study analyzes outputs frommultiple climate models participating in the Fifth phase of the CoupledModel Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project Observations Simulator Package (CO...
متن کاملComparison of Two Different Cloud Climatologies Derived from CALIOP-Attenuated Backscattered Measurements (Level 1): The CALIPSO-ST and the CALIPSO-GOCCP
Two different cloud climatologies have been derived from the same NASA–Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP)-measured attenuated backscattered profile (level 1, version 3 dataset). The first climatology, named Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations–Science Team (CALIPSO-ST), is based on the standard CALIOP cloud mask (level 2 product, version 3), ...

متن کاملComparison of Aerosol Classification Results from Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar (hsrl) Measurements and the Calipso Vertical Feature Mask
The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) on the NASA B200 aircraft has acquired large datasets of aerosol extinction (532nm), backscatter (532 and 1064nm), and depolarization (532 and 1064nm) profiles during 18 field missions across North America since 2006. The lidar measurements include scale-invariant aerosol parameters that vary with aerosol typ...
