This paper presents the operational cloud retrieval algorithms for the TROPOspheric
Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board the European Space Agency Sentinel-5 …

The fraction of cloud water compared to its adiabatic value is defined as the adiabatic
fraction, fad. The accuracy of cloud representation in climate models is highly sensitive to …

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has proven valuable as a proxy of terrestrial
ecosystem photosynthesis that can be used to study the impact of environmental limiting …

This study introduces an effective channel selection method for hyperspectral infrared
sounders. The method is illustrated for the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) instrument …

This paper introduces the OCO2CLD-LIDAR-AUX product, which uses the Cloud-Aerosol
Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar and the Orbiting Carbon …

Cloud geometrical thickness (CGT) retrieved from satellite observations is vital in the
investigation of cloud microphysics and radiative balance. However, there are few …

Abstract Knowledge of cloud geometrical thickness (H) is of importance for the study of
radiative balance and cloud microphysics. However, the retrieval of H remains challenging …

Methane (CH 4) is the second-largest greenhouse gas contributing to global warming,
surpassed only by CO 2, has a large difference in its vertical concentration distribution, and …

We survey overhead remote sensing of cloud and aerosol properties, from either aircraft or
satellites. Standoff distances range from NASA's P‐3B aircraft at only≈ 3.5 km above cloud …

Measurements of the global cloud vertical structure (CVS) are critical to better understanding
the effects of the CVS on climate. Current CVS algorithms based on OCO-2 have to be …
