Cloud Base Height Estimation from ISCCP Cloud-Type Classification Applied to A-Train Data

Cloud base height (CBH) is an important cloud macro parameter that plays a key role in global radiation balance and aviation flight. Building on a previous algorithm, CBH is estimated by combining measurements from CloudSat/CALIPSO and MODIS based on the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Pro...
