Semianalytical cloud retrieval algorithm as applied to the cloud top altitude and the cloud geometrical thickness determination from top‐of‐atmosphere reflectance measurements in the oxygen A band

The paper is devoted to the development of the asymptotic algorithm for the cloud top height h and the geometrical thickness l determination using measurements of the cloud reflection function. It is based on the asymptotic theory of the radiative transfer in the oxygen absorption bands and simple p... View More
