Cloud Liquid Water Climatology from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager

A Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) algorithm is developed to measure both cloud liquid water path (LWP) and cloud frequency (CF) over the oceans. For climate analysis, the LWP and CF parameters are computed on pentad and monthly timescales. Comparisons are made between cloud frequencies obtai...
