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).

Portnov,Andrew Molthan,Andreas Jechow,Andreas Jechow,Steven D. Miller,Zhuosen Wang,Zhuosen Wang,Ranjay Shrestha,Christopher D. Elvidge,Christopher D. Elvidge +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the historical development of night-time optical sensors up to the current state-of-the-art sensors, highlight various applications of night light data, discuss the special challenges associated with remote sensing of night lights with a focus on the limitations of current sensors, and provide an outlook for the future of remote sensing.

Rainfall retrieval over the ocean with spaceborne W‐band radar
John M. Haynes,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Graeme L. Stephens,Steven D. Miller,Cristian Mitrescu,Norman B. Wood,Simone Tanelli +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for retrieving precipitation over the ocean using spaceborne W-band radar is introduced and applied to the CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar, which is most applicable to stratiform-type precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illuminating the Capabilities of the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band
Steven D. Miller,William C. Straka,Stephen P. Mills,Christopher D. Elvidge,Thomas F. Lee,Jeremy E. Solbrig,Andi Walther,Andrew K. Heidinger,Stephanie C. Weiss +8 more
TL;DR: The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, which carries a new Day/Night Band (DNB) radiometer, offers the first quantitative measurements of nocturnal visible and near-infrared light.

TL;DR: The Black Marble nighttime lights product suite (VNP46) is available at 500m resolution since January 2012 with data from the VISible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Platform (SNPP) as discussed by the authors, which utilizes all high-quality, cloud-free, atmospheric-, terrain-, vegetation-, snow-, lunar-, and stray light-corrected radiances to estimate daily nighttime lights (NTL) and other intrinsic surface optical properties.
