Abstract

A type of error was found through statistical analysis of geosynchronous satellite data. This systematic error may seriously compromise the integrity of cloud climate. Case studies of cloud-top temperature in the Mei-Yu front and ITCZ revealed the level and the locations of contamination. The errors became the dominant feature on the radiance histogram unless some correction was made.
