Deep Convective Cloud Top Altitudes at High Temporal and Spatial Resolution

Abstract We describe and validate a method of calculating convective cloud top altitudes and potential temperatures up to 50° latitude at high spatial (0.25°) and temporal (3 hr) resolution. The approach uses the statistics of the CloudSat cloud radar deep convective cloud classification product cou...
