Remote Sensing Retrieval of Cloud and Surface Properties in the Arctic from AVHRR Data

Clouds in the Arctic have an important impact on the radiative energy balance. However, the effects of clouds still constitute one of the largest uncertainties in the study of climate change. Because the surface observations are limited, especially in the polar regions, satellite remote sensing whic...
