Developing A Global, Multi-decadal (1983-2017) Convection Tracking Database Utilizing ISCCP HXG Data
… July 1983 to June 2017, developed using the ISCCP H-Series Pixel-Level Gridded (HXG) dataset and the object-based TOBAC (Tracking and Object-Based Analysis of Clouds) framework. By applying multi-threshold feature detection, segmentation, and linking algorithms to infrared brightness …

Characterization of Tropical Clouds Using Multi-Satellite Observations
… clouds. In conjunction with cloud data from ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project), that is based passive remote sensing technology in the visible and infrared spectrum, this allows for a more coherent understanding of the dynamic structure of tropical clouds.</p> <p>In …

A Temporal Examination of the Connections between Convective Available Potential Energy and Convective System Development
… Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP). While the ISCCP has succeeded in many of its cataloging and analytical goals, one of its flagship products, the Convection Tracking (CT) Database does not contain certain environmental parameters that are essential in understanding how, and …

A Study of Earth Radiation Budget Radiometric Channel Performance and Data Interpretation Protocols
… diurnal interpolation protocol using correlative ISCCP cloudiness data is developed to compensate for sparse temporal sampling of Earth radiation budget data. The bias is shown to be significantly reduced in regions where the variability of the cloud cover is well accounted for by ISCCP data.

The diurnal cycle of cloud cover over southern and central Africa
… Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP-D1). The broad seasonal average diurnal variability is explored across the region. Thereafter a more detailed analysis of regionally specific variability is made using a Self-Organising Map. The findings of this study are in broad agreement …
