Optical Thickness and Effective Radius Retrievals of Low Stratus and Fog from MTSAT Daytime Data as a Prerequisite for Yellow Sea Fog Detection

Optical Thickness and Effective Radius Retrievals of Low Stratus and Fog from MTSAT Daytime Data as a Prerequisite for Yellow Sea Fog Detection

Operational nowcasting techniques for sea fog over the Yellow Sea rely on data from weather satellites because ground-based observations are hardly available. While there are several algorithms for detecting low stratus (LST) that are applicable to geostationary weather satellite data, sea fog retri...
