2B-FLXHR issues Current issues with the CloudSat 2B-FLXHR product http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssues.php?prodid=4 2007-01-26T22:33:06+01:00 text/html 2007-01-25T17:07:16+01:00 http://cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu CloudSat DPC 2B-FLXHR 006: Low clouds http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=4&pvid=158&anomalyid=311261 Clouds that reside in the lowest 1 km of the atmosphere are not captured in current CloudSat products. Thus upwelling SW fluxes may be severely underestimated in regions that contain large numbers of low clouds.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=4&pvid=158&anomalyid=311261">(0 comments)</a><br /><br />Planned resolution: The 2B-TAU product should provide a source of low cloud information based on MODIS radiances. text/html 2007-01-25T17:04:27+01:00 http://cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu CloudSat DPC 2B-FLXHR 006: Modeling of precipitating pixels http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=4&pvid=158&anomalyid=311260 As there are currently no LWC/IWC products in precipitating regions, the FLXHR algorithm currently assumes a uniform 0.5 g/m^3 in all cloudy bins indicated by 2B-GEOPROF.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=4&pvid=158&anomalyid=311260">(0 comments)</a><br /><br />Planned resolution: Ultimately precipitation products will be used to supply the missing water contents.
