Analyzing Seasonal Variation of Clouds over the Asian Monsoon Regions and the Tibetan Plateau Region using CloudSat/CALIPSO Data
|
Abstract:
Using the CloudSat/CALIPSO data products during the period of September 2006-August 2009, seasonal variations of cloud properties (including occurrence frequency, vertical location, physical thickness, distance between cloud layers, and vertical distribution of radar reflectivity) are contrasted among four regions: East Asian Monsoon Region (EAMR), Indian Monsoon Region (IMR), the Western North Pacific Monsoon Region (WNPMR), and the Tibetan Plateau Region (TPR). The geographical distribution of low-level c...
