9 results for “Cloud optical properties”
Simulated top-of-atmosphere (120 km) downward and upward solar and thermal-infrared irradiances and ice cloud optical thickness; calculated solar, TIR and net cloud radiative effect. Simulated with ice crystal properties for aggregates, droxtals, and plates based on Yang (2013).
<p>This dataset consists of three .nc files for ice crystal shapes of aggregates, plates, and droxtals. The files include ice cloud optical thickness <span class="math-tex">\(\tau\)</span> (550nm), the simulated upward and downward irradiances <span class="math-tex">\(F\)</span> at the top-of-atmosphere (with and without the presence of the ice cloud), and the calculated ice cloud radiative effect <span class="math-tex">\(\Delta F\)</span> (solar [0.3-3.5 <span class="math-tex">\(\mu\)</span>m], thermal-infrared [3.5-75 <span class="math-tex">\(\mu\)</span>m], and net). The data set allows the user to extract <span class="math-tex">\(\Delta F\)</span> values for their parameter combinations. The available cloudy and cloud-free irradiances further allow to calculate the cirrus radiative effect (RE) by scaling the 'cloudy' RE with the required cloud cover. This serves as a first-approximation because, as 3D effects are neglected.</p>

CERES Daily Daytime Mean Regionally Averaged Terra and Aqua TOA Fluxes and Associated Cloud Properties Stratified by Optical Depth and Effective Pressure Edition4A
CER_FluxByCldTyp-Day_Terra-Aqua-MODIS_Edition4A is the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Daily Daytime Mean Regionally Averaged Terra and Aqua Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) Fluxes and associated cloud properties stratified by the optical depth and effective pressure Edition4A data product. Data was collected using CERES Flight Model 1 (FM1), FM2, and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra and CERES-FM3, FM4, and MODIS on Aqua. Data collection is ongoing. CER_FluxByCldTyp-Day_Terra-Aqua-MODIS_Edition4A provides instantaneous daytime CERES fluxes and CERES-MODIS cloud properties that have been spatially gridded into 1° regions along both the Terra and Aqua ground tracks where the TOA fluxes and cloud properties have been stratified by six cloud optical depth bins and seven cloud effective pressure layers. The CERES FluxByCldTyp-Day Edition4A product inputs Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) Edition4A footprint data. All 1-km pixel-level MODIS-retrieved cloud properties within each footprint are stratified into three possible sub-footprint components: two cloud layers and a clear portion. The MODIS channel radiances are converted to broadband (BB) radiances for each sub-footprint component. The CERES angular directional models are then applied to obtain BB fluxes. Each CERES sub-footprint cloud layer and associated fluxes are assigned to one of the 42 cloud types, similar to the stratification process in the CldTypHist product. FluxByCloudTyp is an hourly instantaneous gridded daytime-only product with a global extent. Each netCDF4 file covers a single day.CERES is a key Earth Observing System (EOS) program component. The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions follow the successful Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission. The first CERES instrument, the proto flight model (PFM), was launched on November 27, 1997, as part of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Two CERES instruments (FM1 and FM2) were launched into polar orbit onboard the Earth Observing System (EOS) flagship Terra on December 18, 1999. Two additional CERES instruments (FM3 and FM4) were launched onboard Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua on May 4, 2002. The CERES FM5 instrument was launched onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite on October 28, 2011. The newest CERES instrument (FM6) was launched onboard the Joint Polar-Orbiting Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1) satellite, now called NOAA-20, on November 18, 2017.
