Neural network satellite retrievals of nocturnal stratocumulus cloud properties

I investigate the feasibility of retrieving cloud top droplet effective radius, optical thickness and cloud top temperature of nocturnal marine stratocumulus clouds by inverting infrared satellite measurements using an artificial neural network. For my study, I use the information contained in the t...
