Comparison between Satellite Water Vapour Observations and Atmospheric Models’ Predictions of the Upper Tropospheric Thermal Radiation
Figure 7
Variation of the convective cloud cover (%) for each MODIS scene with the average observed brightness temperature at 6.7 μm wavelength (BT6.7) (a), then the BT6.7 difference (MODIS-NCEP/DOE and MODIS-NICAM) (b). The determination coefficients on the right of (a) are, respectively, for MODIS (upper), NCEP/DOE (middle), and NICAM (lower); for (b), they are for MODIS-NCEP/DOE (upper) and MODIS-NICAM (lower).
