内容記述 | Traditional down-looking infrared techniques for the detection and study of clouds have difficulties when clouds are within approximately 200 mbar of the surface. This is because of the lack of thermal contrast between the surface and a low cloud. We present a technique that, using a prior knowledge of the total water column, allows a down-looking high spectral resolution infrared spectrometer to recognize when a significant fraction of its field-of-view contains optically thick clouds (low-altitute or not). |
