Aerosol Properties and Processes: A Path from Field and Laboratory Measurements to Global Climate Models (2007, background): “Global aerosol models can be evaluated against the rich set of global satellite retrievals of a variety of gas, aerosol, and cloud properties (Schoeberl et al. 2006; Kaufman et al. 2003; Bellouin et al. 2005; Sekiguchi et al. 2003; Spinhirne et al. 2005).”
The ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry Mission (2010, methodology): “Results are shown in Table 3 for one-month averages over the areas shown in Fig. 8. The estimate of the residual error was based on the analysis of therelativefrequencyofopticallythincloudsdetectedbythe 532-nmchannelbutundetectedbythe1064-nmchannelasa function of cloud optical depth retrieved from t”
Use of CALIPSO lidar observations to evaluate the cloudiness simulated by a climate model (2008, methodology): “With the new generation of satellites carrying cloud profiling radar and lidar instruments such as CloudSat [Stephens et al., 2002], ICESat/GLAS [Spinhirne et al., 2005] and CALIOP/CALIPSO [Winker et al., 2007] a nearglobal view of the three-dimensional distribution of clouds becomes possible.”
CALIPSO Lidar Description and Performance Assessment (2009, methodology): “1996), and the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), launched in December 2002 on the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESAT) (Spinhirne et al. 2005).”
