Cloud-Cleared Radiance Summary

  • CC – ECMWF residuals are dominated by spatially-

correlated differences

  • Scan-dependence
  • State-dependence
  • Stratosphere not as useful as expected
  • ECMWF temperature errors > 1 K
  • CC error characterize random and systematic errors.
  • Includes ECMWF errors
  • Possibly at the point where CC – ECMWF residuals have

very limited usefulness at this point.

Emissivity Summary

  • Significant improvements in long-wave emissivty
  • Attributed to regression
  • Strong Day-night differences in short-wave emissivity
  • Attributed to short-wave only skin temperature retrieval
  • Skin temperatures have day night differences
