Evaluation of AIRS cloud properties using MPACE data
Retrieval of cloud properties from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder ( AIRS) aboard the NASA Aqua satellite has been investigated. The cloud products from the collocated MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) data are used to characterize the AIRS sub-pixel cloud information such as c...

Retrieval of cloud properties from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder ( AIRS) aboard the NASA Aqua satellite has been investigated.
