We will start this chapter with an intricate image of marine stratocumulus (Sc) clouds
captured by LandSat 5 during First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) …

A three‐dimensional Monte Carlo radiation code is used to analyze surface observations of
sky radiance at a high latitude coastal site. Observations were made at Palmer Station …

Reflected solar radiances measured by the pushbroom cameras of the Multiangle Imaging
SpectroRadiometer (MISR) on the Terra satellite at nine viewing angles are combined to …

This study evaluates 3‐D cloud effects on the radiation budget with a combined use of active
sensor cloud profiling radar/CloudSat and imager Moderate Resolution Imaging …

The two‐dimensional radiative transfer behavior of nine marine stratocumulus clouds
observed by cloud radar during the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment is …

Several mechanisms have previously been proposed to explain differences between the
shortwave reflectance of realistic cloud scenes computed using the 1D independent column …

The three‐dimensional structure and the inhomogeneity of clouds pose a field of challenges.
The characterization of their spatial structure, their microphysical properties, and their …

Influence of Subpixel-Scale Cloud-Top Structure on Reflectances from Overcast Stratiform
Cloud Layers in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 55 Issue 18 (1998) Jump to …

Solar radiative transfer through a cloudy atmosphere is commonly computed assuming
clouds to be one‐dimensional, ie, plane‐parallel. Here we provide a global perspective on …

This paper examines how three-dimensional radiative effects influence the way cloud fields
appear in high-resolution shortwave satellite images. To do so, it uses cloud reflectance …
