Journal ArticleDOI
Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) cloud screening algorithms: validation against collocated MODIS and CALIOP data
Thomas E. Taylor,Christopher W. O'Dell,Christian Frankenberg,Philip T. Partain,Heather Q. Cronk,Andrey Savtchenko,R. R. Nelson,Emily J. Rosenthal,Albert Y. Chang,Brenden Fisher,Gregory B. Osterman,Randy Pollock,David Crisp,Annmarie Eldering,Michael R. Gunson +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, two distinct, computationally inexpensive cloud screening algorithms have been developed for the OCO-2 data set: the A-Band Preprocessor (ABP) and the Iterative Maximum A Posteriori (IMAP) Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) Preprocessor(IDP).
Journal ArticleDOI
The GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment: Results from Intercomparison, Trend, and Homogeneity Analysis of Total Column Water Vapor
Marc Schröder,Maarit Lockhoff,John M. Forsythe,Heather Q. Cronk,Thomas H. Vonder Haar,Ralf Bennartz +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges project (GEWEX) water vapor assessment (G-VAP) main objective is to analyze and explain strengths and weaknesses of satellite-based data records of water vapor through intercomparisons and comparisons with ground based data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine liquid cloud geometric thickness retrieved from OCO-2's oxygen A-band spectrometer
Mark Richardson,Mark Richardson,Jussi Leinonen,Heather Q. Cronk,James McDuffie,Matthew Lebsock,Graeme L. Stephens,Graeme L. Stephens +7 more
TL;DR: The OCO2CLD-LIDAR-AUX product as mentioned in this paper uses the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar and the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) hyperspectral A-band spectrometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of 3D cloud effects in OCO-2 XCO2 retrievals
Steven T. Massie,Heather Q. Cronk,Aronne Merrelli,Christopher W. O'Dell,K. Sebastian Schmidt,Hong Chen,David Baker +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of 3D cloud radiative effects in OCO-2 retrievals is demonstrated from an analysis of 2014-2019 OCO2 XCO2 raw retrieevals, bias-corrected X CO2bc data, ground-based Total Carbon Column Observation Network(TCCON) XCO 2, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) fixmecloud and radiance fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
The OCO-2 Oxygen A-Band Response to Liquid Marine Cloud Properties from CALIPSO and MODIS
Mark Richardson,James McDuffie,Graeme L. Stephens,Graeme L. Stephens,Heather Q. Cronk,T. Taylor +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-spectral-resolution A-band spectra of water clouds over ocean during November 2015 (N = 184,318) using input cloud properties from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Aqua and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIPSO).
