Synergy of stereo cloud top height and ORAC optimal estimation cloud retrieval: evaluation and application to AATSR

The mean values and uncertainties of snow depth and ice and snow densities, determined for FY ice and MY ice, were used to calculate the total error in ice thickness retrieval

The results strengthen the case that the observed increase in cloud top height and cloud fraction associated with higher aerosol loadings in convective clouds over the Atlantic ITCZ

Error bar plot plotting the median height di ff erences for multi-layer ice clouds at or above 6 km (as determined by the uppermost CALIOP CTL elevation) for the three

In that paper, several cloud fields with the same stochastic properties as real clouds are generated assuming variable cloud tops, vertical profile of water droplet, mixed phase,

The satellite cloud parameters cloud top height (CTH) and liq- uid water path (LWP) are compared with ground-based CTH obtained from a cloud mask created using lidar and radar data

Retrieval errors for cloud top height (top left), cloud top temperature (top right) and extinction coe ffi cient (bottom) from application of algorithm to all MIPAS measurements

Cloud-top temperatures are significantly negatively correlated with increasing aerosol index (AI) over oceans and aerosol optical depth (AOT) over land for deep mixed-phase clouds

The precipitation formation and changes in microphysical variables were investigated for a liquid cloud in the tropics (EPIC campaign) and a multi-layer mixed-phase cloud over
