Cloud Overlap Features from Multi-Year Cloud Radar Observations at the SACOL Site and Comparison with Satellites

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Cloud overlap, referring to distinct cloud layers occurring over the same location, is essential for accurately calculating the atmospheric radiation transfer in numerical models, which, in turn, enhances our ability to predict future climate change.

Unveiling Cloud Microphysics of Marine Cold Air Outbreaks Through A-Train’s Active Instrumentation

open access: yesAtmosphere
Marine Cold Air Outbreaks (MCAOs) are critical drivers of high-latitude climates because they regulate the exchange of heat, moisture, and momentum between cold continental or polar air masses and relatively warmer ocean surfaces.

Visualising Data from CloudSat and CALIPSO Satellites

open access: yes, 2010
CloudSat and CALIPSO are NASA, resp. joint NASA and CNES polar-orbiting Earth observation satellites. CloudSat carries a millimetre-wave radar for observation of clouds. CALIPSO carries a visible and infrared polarisation-sensitive lidar for observation of aerosols and ice-phase clouds. Data from these satellites are distributed in the form of HDF4 and
