Influence of ice particle model on satellite ice cloud retrieval: lessons learned from MODIS and POLDER cloud product comparison

For MODIS Col- lection 6 (C6), the shortwave-derived cloud thermodynamic phase algorithm used by the optical and microphysical prop- erty retrievals has been completely rewritten

In this article, we examine the consequence of submarine frontal melting and the ice mélange on glacier dynamics and on the behavior of the glacier front using a full- Stokes

As il- lustrated by the distribution relative to the median line, the most frequent IWC values found in liquid origin cirrus are higher than those observed in the in situ origin

Absolute error (in km) in the cloud top height retrieval with SNGome as function of cloud top height and optical thickness... 1, but as a function of solar zenith angle in

In order to study the sensitivity of this e€ect on the radiative characteristics of the ice cloud, two types of additional ice clouds were modelled: cirrus and contrails, the

Vertical thinning due to ice flow has been estimated both for the EDC and Dome Fuji ice cores based on a 1-D ice flow model (Parrenin et al., 2007b) with prescribed ice

Although large uncertainties about quantitative values of microphysical and optical parameters (ice particle concen- tration, extinction coefficient, ice water content), the com-

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
