It is found that with the parameterization scheme, in addition to the equivalent radius, also including the mean radius of cloud droplet size distribution, the role of small cloud drops might be able to be considered more properly and better accuracies of parameterization calculation of cloud optical properties can be obtained, compared with that of using only the equivalent radius as parameter.展开更多

In particular, the coupling between the land surface temperature and emissivity constructs a severe obstacle for the accurate determination of LST, because at present, the knowledge about global and surface emissivity is still very deficient. Based on the assumption that the change of emissivity is normally negligible in a short period of time a two_channel method is proposed to determine LSTs and emissivities, simultaneously, in which a set of measurement data of two channels made at two different time, day and night or two continuous days or nights, are used. If there are emissivity variations in two time measurements, with the relative changes of emissivities for different channels being the same, then a three_channel method can be used to determine land surface temperautre and emssivity simultaneously.展开更多
