22 de feb. de 2002 · In satellite remote sensing, cloud height is often referred to as the height of the cloud top above local terrain or above mean sea level. Also can be defined as the vertical distance from the cloud base to the cloud top; more commonly referred to as the 'thickness' or 'depth' of the cloud.
The height of the cloud base can be measured using a ceilometer. This device reflects a beam of light off the cloud base and then calculates its distance using either triangulation or travel time . Alternatively, the cloud base can be estimated from surface measurements of air temperature and humidity by calculating the lifted ...
5 de sept. de 2022 · If we are calculating the height of the cloud base starting in Farhenheit, we use this equation: h base = T − T D 4.4 ⋅ 1 , 000 + h ele h_{\text{base}} \!=\! \frac{T-T_{\text{D}}}{4.4}\!\cdot\!1,\!000 + h_{\text{ele}} h base = 4.4 T − T D ⋅ 1 , 000 + h ele
1 de mar. de 2017 · This paper presents a new method for retrieving cloud-base height (CBH) of the uppermost cloud layer from satellite data, using statistical analyses relating cloud geometric thickness (CGT) to cloud-top height (CTH) and cloud water path (CWP). The method improves the performance of CBH retrievals and meets JPSS specifications for this product.
The cloud height, more commonly known as cloud thickness or depth, is the distance between the cloud base and the cloud top. It is traditionally expressed either in metres or as a pressure difference in hectopascal (hPa, equivalent to millibar ).
10 de ago. de 2021 · In this paper, a novel method for retrieving cloud base height and geometric thickness is developed and applied to produce a global climatology of boundary layer clouds with a high accuracy. The retrieval is based on the 333 m resolution low-level cloud distribution as obtained from the CALIPSO lidar data.
Cloud height is the distance between the base of the cloud and the top of the cloud, which is also called cloud thickness or cloud depth. Cloud level is the altitude at which the clouds are located according to cloud base, expressed as a range, for example, between 2 and 5 km above the ground or the sea level.
