Properties of low-level marine clouds as deduced from advanced very high resolution radiometer satellite observations

A radiation model was developed for retrieving cloud visible optical depth, droplet effective radius, and cloud top emission temperature using AVHRR satellite observations at 0.63, 3.7, and 11 ��m. The model was used to determine the sensitivity of the retrieved properties to various approximations...
