Correlating Satellite Cloud Cover with Sky Cameras [PDF]
2017 Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Fall (PIERS - FALL), 2017 The role of clouds is manifold in understanding the various events in the atmosphere, and also in studying the radiative balance of the earth. The conventional manner of such cloud analysis is performed mainly via satellite images.

Optically thin clouds in the trades [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 We develop a new method to describe the total cloud cover including optically thin clouds in trade wind cumulus cloud fields. Climate models and large eddy simulations commonly underestimate the cloud cover, while estimates from observations largely ...

Improved machine-learning-based open-water–sea-ice–cloud discrimination over wintertime Antarctic sea ice using MODIS thermal-infrared imagery [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The frequent presence of cloud cover in polar regions limits the use of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and similar instruments for the investigation and monitoring of sea-ice polynyas compared to passive-microwave-based sensors.

Absorbing aerosol decreases cloud cover in cloud-resolving simulations over Germany [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020 <p>Here, we present investigations on the impact of absorbing aerosol particles on cloud and radiation fields over Germany. Using advanced high-resolution simulations with grid spacings of 312 and 625 m, numerical experiments with different aerosol optical properties are contrasted using purely-scattering aerosol as control case and ...
