AOS 340 Project #3 Results. High Spectral Resolution Radiance: tau=0.1. High Spectral Resolution Radiance: tau=1.0. High Spectral Resolution Radiance: tau=10.0. GOES Bandpass Filter Functions. Convolved Radiance as Cloud Height Changes: tau=0.1.

Radiance Ratios Between Channels: tau=10.0 This feature of being insensitive to the cloud optical depth (and similarly insensitive to cloud fraction) is exploited in a method called “CO2 slicing” to estimate cloud heights from passive infrared data
