Different optical properties of high cloud in GMS and MODIS observations

The optical properties of high cloud are compared between two satellite retrievals taken from the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite‐5 (GMS) and the Moderate‐resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in the tropical western Pacific (TWP) for the years 1998–2001. The MODIS high‐cloud amount de...

Zusammenfassung:The optical properties of high cloud are compared between two satellite retrievals taken from the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite‐5 (GMS) and the Moderate‐resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in the tropical western Pacific (TWP) for the years 1998–2001. The MODIS high‐cloud amount determined by 1.38‐μm reflectances (>1.1%) is approximately twice that of GMS determined by 11‐μm brightness temperatures (
