Observation-Based Cloud Radiative Kernels from A-Train

Abstract

We develop a method to empirically derive broadband and spectral cloud radiative kernels by cloud type from pixel-scale collocated A-Train observations and reanalysis, which does not require additional cloudy radiative transfer calculations nor cloud properties. This method is able to estimate the cloud feedback by maintaining the consistency between CRKs and cloud responses.
