This work was supported primarily by NASA, the "POLES" project in particular,
with some support from NSF. Thanks are due to
M. Rehder, R. Swick, and T. Hutchinson for programming support, J. Collins
for the modification of various procedures for use over land surfaces,
D. Slayback for work on cloud masking,
R. Yang for work on the surface albedo retrieval procedures, and A.M. Wong for
developing the cloudy sky surface temperature algorithm, Y. Liu for
developing ice extent/concentration algorithms, M. Pavolonis for developing
cloud type algorithm. X. Wang contributed
many utility procedures, developed ice thickness/age algorithm, and has done extensive testing
and algorithm improvements.
E. Olson made some important revisions to the cloud detection procedure.
D. Fanning wrote the color bar procedure. B. Bellon compiled and tested
the APP sample data set.
