Multisensor satellite observations of aerosol effects on warm clouds (2008, methodology): “The two retrievals are based on entirely different physical principles, e.g., Stephens and Kummerow [2007] , the optical method being based on reflection of solar radiation and the microwave retrieval being based on emission.”
Retrieval of ice cloud microphysical parameters using the CloudSat millimeter‐wave radar and temperature (2009, background): “While the measurement of cloud occurrence and cloud properties at useful spatial and temporal scales is notoriously difficult [Stephens and Kummerow, 2007], the recent proliferation of new satellite platforms in the last few years [e.g., Eriksson et al., 2008; Stephens et al., 2002;Wu et al., 2009]…”
The albedo of Earth (2015, unknown): “…[1957] 0.32 Offered a re ﬁ ned zonal structure Very [1912] and Danjon [1928, 1936] 0 Reviews of Geophysics 10.1002/2014RG000449 sunlight re ﬂ ected off clouds or aerosol, for example, employ simple models [e.g., Stephens and Kummerow , 2007] usually in the form of that illustrated in Figure 2.”
CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation (2008, methodology): “Satellite measurements of reflected sunlight in selected regions of the solar spectrum, as provided by MODIS for example, provide a way of estimating both t and re and thus W [Stephens and Kummerow, 2007].”
Frequency of occurrence of rain from liquid‐, mixed‐, and ice‐phase clouds derived from A‐Train satellite retrievals (2015, background): “Passive microwave retrievals of precipitation over land rely on scattering of microwave radiation by ice particles [e.g., Stephens and Kummerow, 2007] and are thus unsuitable for warm rain.”
Improvements of top-of-atmosphere and surface irradiance computations with CALIPSO-, CloudSat-, and MODIS-derived cloud and aerosol properties (2011, methodology): “... from Table 2 are combined, the surface net irradiance is 116.4 W m −2 (including the surface downward longwave irradiance bias error of 1.5 W m −2 ). When we use the sensible heat flux of 17 W m −2 [Trenberth et al., 2009], and the surface latent heat flux of 75.5 W m −2 , the value computed fro”
COSP: Satellite simulation software for model assessment (2011, methodology): “Information on the geophysical quantities of interest is inferred by inverse modeling, usually called satellite retrievals (e.g., Stephens and Kummerow 2007).”
