Construction of Nighttime Cloud Layer Height and Classification of Cloud Types

Construction of Nighttime Cloud Layer Height and Classification of Cloud Types

A cloud structure construction algorithm adapted for the nighttime condition is proposed and evaluated. The algorithm expands the vertical information inferred from spaceborne radar and lidar via matching of infrared (IR) radiances and other properties at off-nadir locations with their counterparts...
