QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF A NOVEL SUPER-RESOLUTION RESTORATION TECHNIQUE USING HiRISE WITH NAVCAM IMAGES: HOW MUCH RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT IS POSSIBLE FROM REPEAT-PASS OBSERVATIONS

Observational data sets of cloud characteristics are of key importance in climate science for reducing uncertainty when predicting the future state of the Earth's climate. Here we present a composite method of observing cloud from the Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer, employing both radiometric and geometric approaches. Using this method we find improved accuracy for resolving the cloud top height for very-low and high clouds accompanied by small changes in the microphysical parameters.
