- International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project - Wikipedia
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) was established as the first project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Since its inception in 1982, there have been two phases, 1983–1995 and 1995–2009 [1] The project is responsible for collection and analysis of weather satellite radiance measurements
- International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP)-H Series
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) provides data on various aspects of cloud variables like cloud amount, optical thickness, and cloud top temperature The data, which have been collected since 1983, are available at 3-hour and monthly intervals with global coverage
- ISCCP: Cloud Climatology
Clouds affect the climate but changes in the climate, in turn, affect the clouds This relationship creates a complicated system of climate feedbacks, in which clouds modulate Earth's radiation and water balances Clouds cool Earth's surface by reflecting incoming sunlight
- ESA - EarthCARE lifts the clouds on climate models
True to its promise, the European Space Agency’s EarthCARE satellite is now being used to calculate directly how clouds and aerosols influence Earth’s energy balance – the all-important balance that regulates our climate In doing so, EarthCARE is poised to sharpen the accuracy of climate models, the very tools that guide global climate policy and action
- ISCCP: International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) makes use of routine observations by operational weather satellites to provide a long-term (1983-2009), gridded, global record of cloud properties
- Fascinating cloud patterns that influence the climate - TU Delft
As Alinaghi notes: “If we were to include mesoscale processes in climate models, would it change the impact of clouds on climate—and in turn reduce the huge uncertainty in cloud–climate feedback?” This question remains one of the central challenges in climate science, as these clouds are a major source of uncertainty in climate projections
- ISCCP-NG, CIMSS
The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) pioneered the development of multi-decadal cloud climate records (1983-present) from the operational meteorological geostationary imagers
- International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project
The ISCCP cloud datasets provide our first systematic global view of cloud behavior of the space and time scales of the weather yet covering a long enough time period to encompass several El Niño - La Niña cycles
