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
An update on Earth's energy balance in light of the latest global observations
Graeme L. Stephens,Jui-Lin Li,Martin Wild,Carol Anne Clayson,Norman G. Loeb,Seiji Kato,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Paul W. Stackhouse,Matthew Lebsock,Timothy Andrews +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of the latest observations suggests that more longwave radiation is received at the Earth's surface than previously thought, and that more precipitation is generated, and the additional precipitation is sustained by more energy leaving the surface by evaporation, that is, in the form of latent heat flux.
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
Multisensor satellite observations of aerosol effects on warm clouds
TL;DR: In this article, a global multisensor satellite examination of aerosol indirect effects on warm oceanic clouds is presented, focusing on the water path response of cloud to aerosol burden, and a unique element of the study is a rigorous rain screening methodology that is utilized to separate the responses of nonraining and raining clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The retrieval of warm rain from CloudSat
Matthew Lebsock,Tristan L'Ecuyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for the retrieval of warm rain over oceans for CloudSat that uses ancillary information from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument is presented.
