Abstract

The article presents study of diurnal cloud transformations over Western Siberia using MODIS and VIIRS satellite data obtained in the period from 2017 to 2020, as well as estimates of the variability for cloud features. The following cloud parameters are considered: top height, pressure, temperature, phase and effective emissivity. The paper introduces with a description of the used satellite images and data products. A specification of the methodology for analyzing diurnal cloud transformations and variability of cloud parameters using polynomial approximation methods is described. The results of comparison of the obtained trends in cloud features with the data of ground-based weather stations in Western Siberia are discussed. The article presents the most typical cloud transformations and their reasons over the studied region for the considered period of time.
