Summary
Abstract:
[Summary adapted from Donald Wylie's Home Page]
Statistics on clouds have been compiled from the HIRS sensors on the NOAA satellites since June 1989. This is an on going process and will be updated in the future. The HIRS channels with partial CO2 absorption from 13-15 microns, provides a better means of detecting semi-transparent clouds than other cloud analyses The method has also been referred ...
