Proc. 1531, pp. 456-459; doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4804805, 2013.05, We compiled the seasonal variations of the vertical distribution of clouds through a combined analysis of multiyear CloudSat cloud radar and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar observations between June 2006 and May 2010. The differences between using the previous (version 2, V2) and the latest release (version 3, V3) CALIPSO “Vertical Feature Mask (VFM)” results were also examined. We first developed a cloud mask scheme for CALIPSO and then developed a combined CloudSat/CALIPSO cloud mask based on the ground observations. The VFM (V2) misclassified aerosols and noise signals located in attenuated areas as cloud. Cloud edge detection was also slightly greater by the VFM (V2). In addition, by updating from CALIPSO V2 to V3, the cloud fractions by the VFM dramatically decreased below ~2.5 km while there is little change in those by the C2. The cloud fraction still differed by as much as 20% between the VFM and our CALIPSO scheme. These results indicate that the issues of CALIPSO VFM (V2) had not been corrected in the latent release VFM (V3) completely. The 4-year averaged seasonal variations were examined by using our combined CloudSat/CALIPSO scheme. In the low-level, cloud coverage is relatively smaller over land and in the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) depending on season due to a high frequency of cloud overlap. Very large coverage (~92%) is shown over the western coasts of continents, especially during the summer and fall. The seasonal variation of the ITCZ and the subtropical high in the high-level are observed. A remarkably large cloud coverage of ~87% exists over the whole area with seasonal variation except for part of the subtropical high region, Greenland and Antarctica..

Proc. 1531, 448 (2013); doi: 10.1063/1.4804803, 2013.05, We develop algorithms that can be applied to EarthCARE Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) and Atmospheric backscatter LIdar (ATLID) and discuss about the expected products. EarthCARE will carry CPR and ATLID and these combination corresponds to the CloudSat and CALIPSO for the A-train. Due to the similarities between the EarthCARE and the A-train, it will be possible to apply the similar types of algorithms that have been already developed and extensively used for the analyses of the A-train satellites and it is therefore expected to obtain the similar cloud products for the EarthCARE. On the other hand, there are some differences between the EarthCARE and A-train satellites, e.g., the EarthCRAE CPR has better sensitivity compared with the CloudSat. And Doppler capability of the EarthCARE-CPR is a new element and is expected to provide the better constraint for the retrievals of cloud/precipitation microphysics. And the vertical air motion and sedimentation velocity of cloud particles will be inferred..

International Symposium, AIP conference proceedings, doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4804697 , 1531, 19-22, AIP Conf. Proc. 1531, pp. 19-22; doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4804697, 2013.05, [URL], We discuss about recent progresses in analyses of retrieved cloud properties by active sensors. We have developed several types of algorithms that can be applied to data obtained by cloud profiling radar (CPR) and lidar to retrieve cloud macroscale and microphysical properties. The retrieved properties include cloud occurrence, cloud particle phase, orientation and microphysics. Combined use of CPR and lidar has been recognized to be a powerful tool for the retrieval of cloud microphysics. Single scattering property of ice particles is one of the key elements in the analyses. It has been necessary to develop appropriate scattering theories and inversion methods that can take into account the particle shape and its orientation for the analyses of CPR and lidar data. We have been analyzing the data obtained by the ground based, ship-borne and space-borne active sensors. Space borne active sensors CloudSat and CALIPSO successfully started global observations of cloud and aerosols in June 2006. The theoretical basis of the analysis of these active sensors is given. And global analysis of cloud macro-scale and microphysical properties has been performed. After these space missions, JAXA and ESA are planning a new space mission, EarthCARE and it will carry four sensors including 95 GHz Doppler radar and high spectral resolution lidar. It will be launched in 2015 and is expected to provide information of cloud microphysics as well as vertical air motion. The retrieval algorithms for EarthCARE have been developed by using the existing radar and lidar data including CloudSat and CALIPSO..

Anatoli Borovoi, Alexander Konoshonkin,, Natalia Kustova, Okamoto Hajime, Backscattering Mueller matrix for quasi- horizontally oriented ice plates of cirrus clouds: application to CALIPSO signals, Opt. Express, 20, 28222-28233, 2012.12, [URL], A general view of the backscattering Mueller matrix for the quasi-horizontally oriented hexagonal ice crystals of cirrus clouds has been obtained in the case of tilted and scanning lidars. It is shown that the main properties of this matrix are caused by contributions from two qualitatively different components referred to the specular and corner-reflection terms. The numerical calculation of the matrix is worked out in the physical optics approximation. These matrices calculated for two wavelengths and two tilt angles (initial and present) of CALIPSO lidar are presented as a data bank. The depolarization and color ratios for these data have been obtained and discussed..

Kubota, Mixtures of stratospheric and overshooting air measured using A-Train sensors, Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmosphere, doi:10.1029/2011JD017402, 117, D12207, doi:10.1029/2011JD017402, 2012.05, Synergetic spaceborne observations of overshooting air, defined as cloud intrusion through the level of neutral buoyancy above deep convection, are analyzed using various thresholds introduced in previous studies to detect overshooting. The brightness temperature of the overshooting air measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is generally 2 K higher than that retrieved by the radiative transfer model in which the size distribution of ice cloud particles is estimated from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarisation (CALIOP) and CloudSat data and the vertical temperature profile of cloud is assumed to follow that of the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecst(ECMWF). The lapse rate of overshooting whose cloud top is higher than the level of the cold-point temperature (CPT) is lower than that of an adiabatic expansion. These observations can be rationalized as being due to the overshooting air being locally warmed by a mixture of warmer stratospheric air. Analysis of CALIOP and CloudSat data by using a radar-lidar algorithm shows that the mode of averaged ice water content of the overshoot above the CPT height is 6.3-10 mg/m3. Therefore, if 5% or more of ice particles in the overshoot are sublimated and mixed into the lower stratosphere, the lower stratospheric air will be hydrated. The difference between the brightness temperatures of 6.7- and 11-μm channels observed with MODIS demonstrates that the overshoot enhances stratospheric water vapor. These results indicate that the warm stratospheric air moves downward at and around the overshoot and mixes with the overshooting air and that the overshooting hydrates the lower stratosphere..

Letu, Observations of cloud and aerosol from GCOM-C SGLI, International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Science, XXXVIII, 8, 30-34, 2010.01, Observing cloud and aerosol distributions and their optical and microphysical properties are one of important activities for the global climate change study, since the role of these particles and their interactive responses to the climate system are still in mystery. The Second generation Global Imager (SGLI) aboard the GCOM-C satellite is a follow-on sensor of the Global Imager (GLI) aboard the Midori-2 satellite. It is designed for globally observing clouds and aerosols targets with high-accuracy and quick recurrence. The major geophysical parameters retrieved from SGLI atmosphere’s algorithm are cloud optical thickness, cloud particle radii, cloud top temperature, cloud geometrical thickness, aerosol optical thickness, and aerosol Angstrom exponents. Cloud discriminations all of SGLI pixels will also be supplied. It is notable that the SGLI has some functions specialized for observing aerosol properties over ocean and land. They are 0.38-μm channels, multi-angles and polarization capability in 0.67 and 0.86-μm channels. This paper introduces strategy of the atmospheric observations by use of the GCOM-C/SGLI and the latest research results obtained from GLI- to-SGLI scientific activities..
