AIRS-AMSU variables-CloudSat cloud mask, radar reflectivities, and cloud classification matchups

Entry ID: GES_DISC_AIRSM_CPR_IND_V003

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The basic task is to bring together retrievals of water vapor and cloud properties
from multiple “A-train” instruments (AIRS, AMSR-E, MODIS, AMSU, MLS, &
CloudSat), classify each “scene” (instrument look) using the cloud information,
and develop a merged, multi-sensor climatology of atmospheric water vapor as a
function of altitude, stratified by the cloud classes. This is a large science
analysis project that will require the use of SciFlo technologies to discover and
organize all of the datasets, move and cache datasets as required, find
space/time “matchups” between pairs of instruments, and process years of
satellite data to produce the climate data records.
