Influence of multilayer cloud characteristics on cloud retrieval and estimation of surface downward shortwave radiation

Abstract: There are significant uncertainties in the retrieval accuracy of multilayer clouds with different phase states, leading to bias in the subsequent estimation of the surface downward shortwave radiation (DSR). Single-layer clouds are generally assumed for the retrieval of cloud optical and m...
