| Research Abstract |
In the present study, ground based measurements of cloud were carried out to evaluate the accuracy of satellite remote sensing of cloud microphysics and radiative properties. Comparisons among the ground based measurements, aircraft measurement data obtained in the past, and satellite remote sensing were also performed. Radiaitve properties of inhomogeneous cloud were simulated with Monte Carlo method to evaluate the retrieval of loud microphysical properties such as optical thickness and effective particle radius. Application of satellite remote sensing to GCM was also discussed. It is suggested that optical thickness and effective particle radius retrieved from satellite remote sensing are consistent with those measured in situ by aircraft. Accuracy of remote sensing of inhomogeneous cloud is worse than that of homogeneous cloud because of roughening and smoothing effects, which are dependent on the geometrical relationship between the sun and satellite. Statistical approach in the comparison of observed results obtained by different methods is quite effective particularly for the large size of data, and it is applicable to parameterization of cloud in GCM.
