Cloud-Aerosol Transition Zone: longwave radiative effect based on CERES observations
By Babak Jahani, Hendrik Andersen, Josep Calbó, Josep-Abel González and Jan Cermak. Publication: https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-22-1483-2022 The study presents an approach for quantification of cloud-aerosol transition zone broadband longwave radiative effects at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) during daytime over the ocean, based on satellite observations and radiative transfer simulation. The authors used several products from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and CERES (Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System) sensors for the identification and selection of CERES footprints with horizontally homogeneous transition zone and clear-sky conditions. For the selected transition zone footprints, radiative effect was calculated as the difference between [...]
