A Methodology for Assessing Pixel-Level Uncertainties in Global MODIS Cloud Optical and Microphysical Retrievals

Steven Platnick

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrievals of cloud optical thickness and effective particle radius employ well-known solar reflectance techniques using pre-calculated reflectance look-up tables. We present a methodology for evaluating the quantitative uncertainty in simultaneous retrievals of cloud optical thickness and particle size for this type of algorithm.
