MODIS Global Cloud-Top Pressure and Amount Estimation: Algorithm Description and Results
W. Paul Menzel,Richard A. Frey,Hong Zhang,Donald P. Wylie,C. C. Moeller,Robert E. Holz,B. C. Maddux,Bryan A. Baum,Kathy Strabala,Liam E. Gumley +9 more
TL;DR: The MODIS cloud algorithm produces cloud-top pressures that are found to be within 50 hPa of lidar determinations in single-layer cloud situations as mentioned in this paper, where the upper layer cloud is semitransparent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Ground and Satellite Observations of Cloud Cover
Anthony J. Schreiner,David A. Unger,W. Paul Menzel,Gary P. Ellrod,Kathy Strabala,Jackson L. Pellet +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a processing scheme that determines cloud height and amount based on radiances from the Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) using a CO2 absorption technique has been installed on the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service VAS Data Utilization Center computer system in Washington, D.C.

International MODIS and AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP): A Direct Broadcast Software Package for the NASA Earth Observing System
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Community Satellite Processing Package from Direct Broadcast: Providing real-time Satellite Data to every corner of the world
Allen Huang,Liam E. Gumley,Kathy Strabala,Scott Mindock,Ray K. Garcia,Graeme Martin,Geoff Cureton,James E. Davies,Nick Bearson,Jessica Braum,Rebecca Cintineo,Marek J. Rogal,Mitch Goldberg +12 more
TL;DR: SSEC/CIMSS is supported by the NOAA JPSS program scientist and NASA to continue facilitating the use of polar orbiter satellite data through the initial development of a newly conceived Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) that will support the Suomi-NPP/JPSS.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
MODIS cloud mask: current situation and its improvements
TL;DR: The MODIS cloud mask algorithm identifies several conceptual domains according to surface type and solar illumination, including land, water, snow/ice, desert, and coast for both day and night as discussed by the authors.
