17 Derived cloud top altitude comparison 0.05 Normalized Number of Occurrence All Cloudy FOV CALIPSO < 5 km CALIPSO > 5 km Cloud Height Difference (MODIS CALIPSO (km)) 5 As expected, for thin clouds, the MODIS (IR passive approach) is sensitive to a layer below the physical cloud top.
18 CALIPSO/MODIS Comparison black CALIPSO, red MODIS CO2 Comparison is helping to understand performance of MODIS CO2 Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies Slicing derived cloud altitudes. Black points are MODIS cloud heights.

29 Cloud microphysics
30 MODIS, CALIOP and CloudSat together CALIOP Cloud Phase CALIOP Backscatter CALIOP Depolarization CloudSat radar refelctivity CloudSat precipitation flag
31 Occurrence of CALIOP oriented Ice Crystals One year, ocean areas and cloud top below 5 km
32 Seasonal Distribution HOIC One year, ocean areas and cloud top below 5 km N.H. Orientated S.H. Orientated
33 HOIC and CloudSat Precipitation Rain Snow Mixed Atlantic Rain Snow Mixed Pacific
34 What have we learned, and are learning! The average fractional agreement for MODIS IFOVs with CALIOP is on the order of 90%. " Reference to other cloud detection methods) " Passive approach problematic for polar night.! MODIS CO2 cloud height biases of cirrus are lower than CALIOP!!!! altitudes by ~ 2.5 km, consistent with expectations for comparison with lidar. MODIS cloud height biases for marine stratus. MODIS and CALIOP optical depths are consistent with each other and IR approaches. Cloud properties coupled to surface types. A unique 1-year data set for horizontally oriented ice crystals
35 Thank you its fun working with these data.
