DOI: 10.1002/qj.3022
Abstract: To assimilate the all-sky infrared radiances of Himawari-8/AHI, we investigated the statistical characteristics of a radiance simulation from a mesoscale cloud-resolving model. Compared with AHI observations, the simulations tended to show insufficiently low brightness temperature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2021.112566
Abstract: Abstract Land surface temperature (LST) has been effectively retrieved from thermal infrared (TIR) satellite measurements under clear-sky conditions. However, TIR satellite data are often severely contaminated by clouds, which cause spatiotemporal discontinuities and low retrieval… read more here.
