A Simple Stochastic Model for Generating Broken Cloud Optical Depth and Cloud Top Height Fields March 22, 2009 —
In order to better understand and predict shortwave radiation in realistic cloudy atmospheres, we need to specify the 3D distribution of cloud liquid water. Realistic cloud fields and spatial distributions of cloud liquid water can be obtained from eithe . . . [continued]
Quality of MODIS/AERONET aerosol comparisons March 8, 2009 —
"Quality” of MODIS/AERONET comparisons of total and spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) over land at each AERONET site, for Terra, during all summer seasons (2000-2008). On the map a given color describes how well MODIS AOD matches AERONET in a sca . . . [continued]
