中国地区卷云分布特征的星载激光雷达遥感

The distribution of cirrus clouds over China is presented using the Earth-orbiting Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization(CALIOP)Level 25 km(horizontal resolution)cloud layer product from June 2006 to May 2008.The three quality control standards based on cirrus climatologies can be effectively used to eliminate the cirrus false identifications in this product.From the analysis of cirrus cloud horizontal distribution,the authers attribute the highest occurrence frequency of cirrus clouds of about 6...
