Validation was performed using collocated CALIPSO data for pixels detected as cloud from both the VIIRS and CALIPSO cloud masks.. Typical cold sea surface temperatures, in conjunction with the subsidence associated with the subtropical high, are responsible for the formation of a shallow cool moist marine boundary layer capped by a strong inversion. Marine stratus clouds form in this marine boundary layer. . ECNU, China. 3. . June 2011. Part. 3. Kathleen . Strabala. Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies.
