CLOUD DETECTION BASED ON DECISION TREE OVER TIBETAN PLATEAU WITH MODIS DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 Snow cover area is a very critical parameter for hydrologic cycle of the Earth. Furthermore, it will be a key factor for the effect of the climate change. An unbelievable situation in mapping snow cover is the existence of clouds.

Improving Urban Land Cover Classification in Cloud-Prone Areas with Polarimetric SAR Images
Remote Sensing, 2021 Urban land cover (ULC) serves as fundamental environmental information for urban studies, while accurate and timely ULC mapping remains challenging due to cloud contamination in tropical and subtropical areas. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has excellent

Arctic clouds in ECHAM6 and their sensitivity to cloud microphysics and surface fluxes [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Compared to other climate models, the MPI-ESM/ECHAM6 is one of the few models that is able to realistically simulate the typical two-state radiative structure of the Arctic boundary layer and also is able to sustain liquid water at low temperatures as is

Contrasting impacts of forests on cloud cover based on satellite observations
Nature Communications, 2022 How forests influence cloud cover in different regions is not well understood. Here, the authors use satellite data to show that forests enhance clouds over most temperate and boreal forests but inhibited clouds over forests of Amazon, Central Africa ...

Search for Man-Made Cirrus Contrails over Southeast Asia
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2007 In this study we examine the effect of natural perturbations on cirrus cloud cover in the tropics and we look for possible signal of cirrus contrails in tropical air traffic regions focussing on Southeast Asia, a region that has received much less ...

A collimated flow driven by radiative pressure from the nucleus of quasar Q~1511+091 [PDF]
, 2002 High velocity outflows from quasars are revealed by the absorption signatures they produce in the spectrum of the quasar. Clues on the nature and origin of these flows are important for our understanding of the dynamics of gas in the central regions of ...

Persistent solar signatures in cloud cover: spatial and temporal analysis
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 A consensus regarding the impact of solar variability on cloud cover is far from being reached. Moreover, the impact of cloud cover on climate is among the least understood of all climate components.

INVESTIGATION OF CLOUDS AND CLOUD RADIATIVE FORCING ON THE WINDWARD SIDE OF THE MADAGASCAR MOUNTAIN CHAINS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Clouds affect the radiative energy balance of the earth–atmosphere system by reflecting and trapping the radiation. The cooling occurs over the earth by reflecting the incoming solar radiation and warming by trapping the outgoing longwave terrestrial ...
