Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms
Tập 26 Số 11 - Trang 2310-2323 - 2009
Abstract The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a
two-wavelength polarization lidar that performs global profiling of aerosols and
clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. CALIOP is the primary
instrument on the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite
Observations (CALIPSO) satellite, which has flown in formation with the NASA
A-train constellation ...
Geostationary Enhanced Temporal Interpolation for CERES Flux Products
Tập 30 Số 6 - Trang 1072-1090 - 2013
Abstract The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments on
board the Terra and Aqua spacecraft continue to provide an unprecedented global
climate record of the earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) energy budget since March
2000. A critical step in determining accurate daily averaged flux involves
estimating the flux between CERES Terra or Aqua overpass times. CERES employs
the CE...
Geophysical Applications of Partial Wavelet Coherence and Multiple Wavelet Coherence
Tập 29 Số 12 - Trang 1845-1853 - 2012
Abstract In this paper, the application of partial wavelet coherence (PWC) and
multiple wavelet coherence (MWC) to geophysics is demonstrated. PWC is a
technique similar to partial correlation that helps identify the resulting
wavelet coherence (WTC) between two time series after eliminating the influence
of their common dependence. MWC, akin to multiple correlation, is, however,
useful in seeking...
CERES Synoptic Product: Methodology and Validation of Surface Radiant Flux
Tập 32 Số 6 - Trang 1121-1143 - 2015
AbstractThe Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Synoptic (SYN1deg),
edition 3, product provides climate-quality global 3-hourly 1° × 1°gridded top
of atmosphere, in-atmosphere, and surface radiant fluxes. The in-atmosphere
surface fluxes are computed hourly using a radiative transfer code based upon
inputs from Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS), 3-hourly...
A Hybrid Thresholding Algorithm for Cloud Detection on Ground-Based Color Images
Tập 28 Số 10 - Trang 1286-1296 - 2011
Abstract Cloud detection is the precondition for deriving other information
(e.g., cloud cover) in ground-based sky imager applications. This paper puts
forward an effective cloud detection approach, the Hybrid Thresholding Algorithm
(HYTA) that fully exploits the benefits of the combination of fixed and adaptive
thresholding methods. First, HYTA transforms an input color cloud image into a
normal...
A New Sea Surface Height–Based Code for Oceanic Mesoscale Eddy Tracking
Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 1181-1188 - 2014
AbstractThis paper presents a software tool that enables the identification and
automated tracking of oceanic eddies observed with satellite altimetry in
user-specified regions throughout the global ocean. As input, the code requires
sequential maps of sea level anomalies such as those provided by Archiving,
Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) data. Outputs
take the f...
On the Transition from Profile Altimeter to Swath Altimeter for Observing Global Ocean Surface Topography
Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 560-568 - 2014
Abstract Conventional radar altimeter makes measurement of sea surface height
(SSH) in one-dimensional profiles along the ground tracks of a satellite. Such
profiles are combined via various mapping techniques to construct
two-dimensional SSH maps, providing a valuable data record over the past two
decades for studying the global ocean circulation and sea level change. However,
the spatial resolut...
In situ SST Quality Monitor (iQuam)
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 164-180 - 2014
Abstract The quality of in situ sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is critical for
calibration and validation of satellite SSTs. In situ SSTs come from different
countries, agencies, and platforms. As a result, their quality is often
suboptimal, nonuniform, and measurement-type specific. This paper describes a
system developed at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
the in situ...
Joint Calibration of Multiplatform Altimeter Measurements of Wind Speed and Wave Height over the Past 20 Years
Tập 26 Số 12 - Trang 2549-2564 - 2009
Abstract Since 1985, for a period of more than 23 yr, seven altimeter missions
have provided global coverage of significant wave height and wind speed. This
study undertakes a long-term analysis of the accuracy and stability of
altimeter-derived values of significant wave height and wind speed from the
following satellites: European Remote Sensing-1 (ERS-1), ERS-2, Environmental
Satellite (Envisat...
Advances in Geostationary-Derived Longwave Fluxes for the CERES Synoptic (SYN1deg) Product
Tập 33 Số 3 - Trang 503-521 - 2016
AbstractThe Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project has
provided the climate community 15 years of globally observed
top-of-the-atmosphere fluxes critical for climate and cloud feedback studies. To
accurately monitor the earth’s radiation budget, the CERES instrument footprint
fluxes must be spatially and temporally averaged properly. The CERES synoptic 1°
(SYN1deg) product in...
