Cirrus cloud properties derived from coincident GOES and lidar data during the 1986 FIRE Cirrus Intensive Field Observations (IFO)
TL;DR: Rossow et al. as mentioned in this paper estimated the cloud emissivity from the derived cloud reflectance using a theoretical model relating visible (VIS, 0.65 micron) optical depth to infrared (IR, 10.5 micron).
Intercomparisons of GOES-derived cloud parameters and surface observations over San Nicolas Island
TL;DR: In this article, surface measurements taken during the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Marine Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observations (IFO) are compared to cloud properties determined from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) data in order to determine how well the island measurements represent larger areas and to verify some of the satellite-measured parameters.
Satellite Calibration and Verification of Remotely Sensed Cloud and Radiation Properties Using ARM UAV Data
TL;DR: The work proposed under this agreement was designed to validate and improve remote sensing of cloud and radiation properties in the atmosphere for climate studies with special emphasis on the use of satellites for monitoring these parameters to further the goals of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program as mentioned in this paper.
Satellite Analyses of Cirrus Cloud Properties During the FIRE Phase 2 Cirrus Intensive Field Observations over Kansas
TL;DR: The first ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Phase II Intensive Field Observations (IFO) were taken over southeastern Kansas between November 13 and December 7,1991, to determine cirrus cloud properties as mentioned in this paper.

Temporal Variability of the Radiation Budget Over the Tibetan Plateau Determined from the Erbe Satellites
TL;DR: In this article, the capabilities of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) satellites and data analysis system for determining diurnal variations of the radiation budget over the Tibetan Plateau are discussed.
