Data acquisition and standard processing Adam Dybbroe Problems Area definitions, Antenna failures Formats (hdf5, phyton, KNMI) Failure NOAA-15 (AMSU) Delayed launch NOAA-16 Upgrades ANA
Cloud Type Classifications Adam Dybbroe Goal: Give overview of synoptic cloud classes Products: All overpasses analyzed Monthly statistics of cloud characteristics Time series of cloud characteristics per station
AMSUHeike Hausschildt Goal Provide reference LWP values for AVHRR retrievals Problems Radiative Transfer Theory ----- large gap ------ Real Life Results Literature approach ===> unsatisfactory Neural Network-approach ===> ? presentation
AVHRR Quantitative Cloud Analysis Dominique Jolivet Goal Spatial distribution of LWP Problems Calibration NOAA-15 Retrieval assumptions Number of cases (Supervized mode)
AVHRR Quantitative Cloud Analysis Dominique Jolivet Number of cases Selection, Help from University Kiel Extentions + Adaptions of KLAROS High speed access LUTs, Multiple viewing geometries, Area averages, 1.6micron images, Unexpected usefulness of the 1.6micron channel (N-16) Particle size, Phase discrimination (not part of KLAROS) Quality LWP fields is better than was expected for cloud fields of low variability
AVHRR versus m-wave radiometers Dominique Jolivet, Heike Hausschildt Supervized Lot of work and subjective Russian doll method Comparing average and variance at increasingly larger scales The Heike method ..?
