Abstract

While for most Landsat data users clouds are contaminants that should be avoided whenever possible,our group takes advantage of the high spatial resolution of enhanced thematic mapper plus (ETM+) tostudy clouds at scales where three-dimensional (3D) radiative effects are important. This abstractpresents a case study of Landsat-7 (L7) retrievals for a scene of heavy stratus clouds in the vicinity ofthe Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Oklahoma site. The same day (March 3,2000) L7 passed over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site, the Twin Otter aircraft was measuringradiative fluxes above clouds as part of ARM Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE II).
