Estimating Layered Cloud Cover from Geostationary Satellite Radiometric Measurements: A Novel Method and Its Application

Layered cloud cover (LCC), that is, cloud cover at different levels, is crucial for estimating cloud radiative effects and modeling climate change. However, accurate LCC characterization using passive satellite measurements is challenging because of the difficulties in resolving cloud vertical struc...
