Assessing cloud cover in fair weather cumulus with A-Train type imagers and lidars: An example from the CLASIC field campaign
Assessing cloud cover in fair weather cumulus with A-Train type imagers and lidars: An example from the CLASIC field campaign
December 28, 2008 — Broken cloudy fields containing low overall cloud fraction and small cloud element sizes, such as boundary layer fair weather cumulus and trade cumulus, present numerous challenges to the remote sensing of cloud properties. This is true for passive imager . . . [continued]

Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) anomaly showing deviation of 2008 from the Terra-MODIS 8-year mean
December 14, 2008 — Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) anomaly showing deviation of 2008 from the Terra-MODIS 8-year mean. Red areas are where AOT was higher than the 8-year mean, and blue areas are where AOT was lower. We see elevated volcanic emissions from Hawaii, an acti . . . [continued]
