Thus, the characteristics of multi-layer cloud systems which have the combined geometrical thickness of the gaps exceeding the one of the cloudy layers may be inaccurate, especially for night time retrieval (because of overestimation of the gas absorption).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=2&pvid=155&anomalyid=311250">(0 comments)</a><br /><br />Planned resolution: TBD text/html 2007-01-24T23:15:07+01:00 http://cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu CloudSat DPC http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=2&pvid=155&anomalyid=311249 Since the information about cloud ice particle shape is not available, the phase function assumed as provided by<br /> B.A. Baum (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~baum/Cirrus/MODIS_V2models.html ). <br /> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataIssue.php?prodid=2&pvid=155&anomalyid=311249">(0 comments)</a><br /><br />Planned resolution: TBD
