Abstract :
The algorithms currently employed by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) atmospheres team to retrieve cloud height and cloud thermodynamic phase depend solely on infrared (IR) bands and operate independently of each other. Cloud heights are derived using bands located in the 15-μm CO2 band, i.e. the CO2 slicing method. Cloud thermodynamic phase is inferred using an IR bispectral technique using bands located at 8.5 and 11 μm.
