| Summary: | The research presented here retrieves the cloud optical thickness and particle
effective size of cirrus clouds using surface radiation measurements obtained during the
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) field campaign. The algorithm used is
based on a method proposed by Yang et al. (2005). The research examines single-layer
ice clouds in the midlatitude and polar regions. The retrieved information in the
midlatitudes is then verified using retrievals from the Moderate-resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites. |
