Assessing MODIS cloud retrieval aggregation biases with view angle
Assessing MODIS cloud retrieval aggregation biases with view angle
June 21, 2009 — The MODIS Level-2 cloud retrieval product (MOD06 and MYD06 for Terra and Aqua, respectively) provides a baseline instantaneous uncertainty (does not attempt to account for 3D radiative effects). However, the extent to which instantaneous errors produce bi . . . [continued]

Cloud brightness changes caused by horizontal radiative interactions
June 7, 2009 — This image shows the way horizontal radiative interactions influence cloud brightness in satellite images. The influence is calculated by comparing two sets of simulated satellite images, one that includes horizontal radiative effects and one that does n . . . [continued]
