- The albedo of Earth (2015, unknown): “The standard deviation of fl uxes is 7, inferred from data of the A-Train [ Stephens et al ., 2002] era, is also consistent with these fi ndings indicating that the regions of highest variability predominantly coincide with those regions where tropical moist convection variability is known to be…”
- A global view of midlevel liquid‐layer topped stratiform cloud distribution and phase partition from CALIPSO and CloudSat measurements (2010, unknown): “Fortunately, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar and CloudSat radar measurements are now available and provide unique data to study midlevel strati-form clouds and their vertical structures [ Stephens et al. , 2002; Winker et al. , 2003].”
- INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE AND CALIBRATION OF AMSR-E AND AMSR2 (2010, methodology): “This type of deep space calibration has been tested for TMI (Wentz, et al., 2001) and WindSat (Jones et al., 2006), which is the polarimetric microwave radiometer onboard the Coriolis satellite.”
- Global hydrometeor occurrence as observed by CloudSat: Initial observations from summer 2006 (2007, unknown): “The overall global hydrometeor coverage as observed by CloudSat is found to be 0.506.”
