The CloudSat mission and the A-train: a new dimension of space-based observations of clouds and precipitation
Graeme L. Stephens,Deborah G. Vane,Ronald J. Boain,Gerald G. Mace,Kenneth Sassen,Zhien Wang,Anthony J. Illingworth,Ewan O'Connor,William B. Rossow,Stephen L. Durden,Steven D. Miller,Richard T. Austin,Angela Benedetti,Cristian Mitrescu +13 more
TL;DR: CloudSat as discussed by the authors is a satellite experiment designed to measure the vertical structure of clouds from space, and once launched, CloudSat will orbit in formation as part of a constellation of satellites (the A-Train) that includes NASA's Aqua and Aura satellites, a NASA-CNES lidar satellite (CALIPSO), and a CNES satellite carrying a polarimeter (PARASOL).
Journal ArticleDOI
CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation
Graeme L. Stephens,Deborah G. Vane,Simone Tanelli,Eastwood Im,Stephen L. Durden,Mark J. Rokey,Don Reinke,Philip T. Partain,Gerald G. Mace,Richard T. Austin,Tristan L'Ecuyer,John M. Haynes,Matthew Lebsock,Kentaroh Suzuki,Duane E. Waliser,Dong L. Wu,Jen Kay,Andrew Gettelman,Zhien Wang,Rojer Marchand +19 more
TL;DR: CloudSat data has been used for cloud profiling radar (CPR) as discussed by the authors, which has been operating since 2 June 2006 and has proven to be remarkably stable since turn-on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vane,Christopher J. Walker,Dong Wu +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the shortcomings evident in model representations of cloud ice through a comparison of the simulations assessed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report, briefly discuss the range of global observational resources that are available, and describe the essential components of the model parameterizations that characterize their "cloud" ice and related fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
CloudSat and CALIPSO within the A-Train: Ten Years of Actively Observing the Earth System
Graeme L. Stephens,David M. Winker,Jacques Pelon,Charles R. Trepte,Deborah G. Vane,Cheryl Yuhas,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Matthew Lebsock +7 more
TL;DR: The A-Train satellite constellation as mentioned in this paper is a 10-year demonstration of coordinated formation flying that made it possible to develop integrated products and that offered new insights into key atmospheric processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparisons of global cloud ice from MLS, CloudSat, and correlative data sets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) version 2.2 and CloudSat R04 (release 4) IWC and partial-column ice water path (pIWP) measurements with other correlative data sets.
