内容記述 | The principal advantage of the HIRS cloud height retrieval is to provide an unbiased estimate of cloud height for optically thin, high cloud. This capability is employed to examine the relationship of cirrus visible reflectance to thermal IR emittance. By combining data from the HIRS-2 and AVHRR instruments on the NOAA operational satellites the proposed method attempts to improve the ability of existing satellite radiometers to recover information on middle-level and high-level clouds. This combination of data sets leads to an improved cloud recovery algorithm for the detection and analysis of cirrus clouds. |
