Abstract

In order to utilize the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) cloud products to detect the properties of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder(AIRS) cloud,this paper first adopted space collocation algorithm to match the MODIS and AIRS,and then combined the MODIS cloud classification mask,cloud phase mask products and the operational algorithm of MODIS cloud retrieval to realize the utilization of MODIS data to detect AIRS single field of the cloud(pixel cloud).The results show that MODIS 1km resolution products can realize AIRS cloud classification(lower,midlevel or high clouds) and cloud phase(water,ice or mixed-phase clouds) detection.
