RISDevelopment of a Two-Channel Aerosol Retrieval Algorithm on a Global Scale Using NOAA AVHRR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study proposes a two-channel satellite remote sensing algorithm for retrieving the aerosol optical thickness and the Ångström exponent, which is an index for the aerosol size distribution. An efficient lookup table ...
A Study of Global Aerosol Optical Climatology with Two-Channel AVHRR Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global distributions of the aerosol optical thickness and Ångström exponent are estimated from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer channel-1 and -2 radiances for four ...
Aerosol Optical Properties in the Iranian Region Obtained by Ground-Based Solar Radiation Measurements in the Summer Of 1991
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar radiation measurements were made using sun photometers and pyranometers during 31 May-7 June 1991 at several places in Iran and during 12 June-17 September 1991 at a fixed place, Bushehr, Iran. In the first period ...
A Study of the Aerosol Effect on a Cloud Field with Simultaneous Use of GCM Modeling and Satellite Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The indirect effect of aerosols was simulated by a GCM for nonconvective water clouds and was compared with remote sensing results from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite-borne sensor for January, ...
Tropospheric Aerosol Optical Thickness from the GOCART Model and Comparisons with Satellite and Sun Photometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Georgia Institute of Technology?Goddard Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model is used to simulate the aerosol optical thickness τ for major types of tropospheric aerosols including ...
Intercomparison of Satellite Retrieved Aerosol Optical Depth over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For an 8-month period aerosol optical depth (AOD) is compared, derived over global oceans with five different retrieval algorithms applied to four satellite instruments flown on board three satellite platforms. The Advanced ...
A Comparison of Model- and Satellite-Derived Aerosol Optical Depth and Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The determination of an accurate quantitative understanding of the role of tropospheric aerosols in the earth's radiation budget is extremely important because forcing by anthropogenic aerosols presently represents one of ...
