Anomalous Opaque Clouds Revealed by Collocated MODIS and CALIOP Retrievals

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract This paper examines discrepancies between cloud optical thickness (COT) retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud product, and cloud opacity measurements from the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) lidar.

Evaluation and Improvement of the Quality of Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer Clear-Sky Data

Atmosphere, 2021
To assess the quality of the retrieved products from ground-based microwave radiometers, the “clear-sky” Level-2 data (LV2) products (profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity) filtered through a radiometer in Beijing during the 24 months from ...

Thin liquid water clouds: their importance and our challenge [PDF]

, 2007
Many clouds important to the Earth’s energy balance contain small amounts of liquid water, yet despite many improvements, large differences in retrievals of their liquid water amount and particle size still must be ...

Ground‐Based Microwave Measurements of ClO and O3 Over Scott Base, Antarctica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract We present measurements from a new microwave instrument that has been deployed at Scott Base, Antarctica, primarily to measure ClO. The new instrument allows for the extension of the time series of lower stratospheric ClO measurements begun in 1996 at this site, while some of the technical improvements offer the possibility of making ...
