Cloud requires a user centric access control where every user request to any service provider is bundled with the user identity and entitlement information

Weekly cycles have been analysed in surface observations of sulfur dioxide and sul- fate concentrations, satellite observations of aerosol optical depth, cloud properties (cloud

National cloud framework (NCF) , based on the cloud computing framework, is the idea of a cloud that is completely owned and managed by the government of a

Figure 3 shows the daily-mean cloud radiative forcing for tropical overcast cirrus as functions of cloud top height and cloud optical depth, calculated using the radiation model

Four cloud fraction retrieval methods for GOME data that have been developed are discussed in this paper (the Initial Cloud Fitting Algorithm, the PMD Cloud Recognition Algo- rithm,
