Journal ArticleDOI
Arctic Stratus Cloud Properties and Their Effect on the Surface Radiation Budget: Selected Cases from FIRE ACE
TL;DR: In this article, the results of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Arctic Cloud Experiment (ACE) were analyzed using data taken during three cloudy and two clear days in May 1998.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the vertical structure of tropical (20°S–20°N) optically thin clouds from SAGE II observations
Pi-Huan Wang,Patrick Minnis,M. Patrick McCormick,G. S. Kent,Glenn K. Yue,David F. Young,Kristi M. Skeens +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the satellite data from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II was used to study cloud vertical distribution, including thickness and multilayer structure, and to estimate cloud optical depth.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A global cloud database from VIRS and MODIS for CERES
Patrick Minnis,David F. Young,Bruce A. Wielicki,Sunny Sun-Mack,Qing Z. Trepte,Yan Chen,Patrick W. Heck,Xiquan Dong +7 more
TL;DR: The NASA CERES Project has developed a combined radiation and cloud property dataset using the CERS scanners and matched spectral data from high-resolution imagers, the Visible Infrared Scanner (VIRS) on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra and Aqua as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of in situ and satellite-derived cloud properties during success
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of effective ice particle diameters derived from multispectral satellite data with in situ measurements from the MASP and PVM instruments aboard the DC-8 aircraft is made.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Climate Quality Broadband and Narrowband Solar Reflected Radiance Calibration Between Sensors in Orbit
Bruce A. Wielicki,David R. Doelling,David F. Young,Norman G. Loeb,D.P. Garber,D.G. MacDonnell +5 more
TL;DR: The recent CERES data products have carried out the most extensive intercomparisons because if the need to merge data from up to 11 instruments (CERES, MODIS, geostationary imagers) on 7 spacecraft (Terra, Aqua, and 5 geostationsary) for any given month.
