The Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) on the Polar Orbiting CloudSat satellite has provided a unique dataset to characterize cloud types. However, data from this nadir-looking radar offers limited capability for estimating precipitation because of the narrow satellite swath coverage and low temporal frequency. We use these high-quality observations to build a Deep Neural Network Cloud-Type Classification (DeepCTC) model to estimate cloud types from multispectral data from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) onboard the GOES-16 platform. The DeepCTC model is trained and tested using coincident data from both CloudSat and ABI over the CONUS region. Evaluations of DeepCTC indicate that the model performs well for a variety of cloud types including Altostratus, Altocumulus, Cumulus, Nimbostratus, Deep Convective and High clouds. However, capturing low-level clouds remains a challenge for the model. Results from simulated GOES-16 ABI imageries of the Hurricane Harvey event show a large-scale perspective of the rapid and consistent cloud-type monitoring is possible using the DeepCTC model. Additionally, assessments using half-hourly Multi-Radar\/Multi-Sensor (MRMS) precipitation rate data (for Hurricane Harvey as a case study) show the ability of DeepCTC in identifying rainy clouds, including Deep Convective and Nimbostratus and their precipitation potential. We also use DeepCTC to evaluate the performance of the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks-Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS) product over different cloud types with respect to MRMS referenced at a half-hourly time scale for July 2018. Our analysis suggests that DeepCTC provides supplementary insights into the variability of cloud types to diagnose the weakness and strength of near real-time GEO-based precipitation retrievals. With additional training and testing, we believe DeepCTC has the potential to augment the widely used PERSIANN-CCS algorithm for estimating precipitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12020316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,20]],"date-time":"2020-01-20T04:27:09Z","timestamp":1579494429000},"page":"316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Deep Neural Network Cloud-Type Classification (DeepCTC) Model and Its Application in Evaluating PERSIANN-CCS"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7420-4650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vesta","family":"Afzali Gorooh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS), The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5314-0619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Subodh","family":"Kalia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Syracuse University, NY 13201, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9055-2583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Phu","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS), The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Kuo-lin","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS), The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7774-5113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soroosh","family":"Sorooshian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS), The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"},{"name":"Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5916-1410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sangram","family":"Ganguly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA"}]},{"given":"Ramakrishna","family":"Nemani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1665","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0450(2001)040<1665:CTAMPR>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Cloud type and macrophysical property retrieval using multiple remote sensors","volume":"40","author":"Wang","year":"2001","journal-title":"J.
