A Method for Unbiased High-Resolution Aerosol Retrieval from Landsat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because the land surface reflectance varies spatially, the atmospheric radiative transfer over land in clear-sky conditions is essentially three-dimensional. This is manifested through horizontal radiative fluxes that blur ...
Aerosol Radiative Impact on Spectral Solar Flux at the Surface, Derived from Principal-Plane Sky Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate measurements of the spectral solar flux reaching the surface in cloud-free conditions are required to determine the aerosol radiative impact and to test aerosol models that are used to calculate radiative forcing ...
Observations and Modeling of the Surface Aerosol Radiative Forcing during UAE2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol radiative forcing in the Persian Gulf region is derived from data collected during the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Unified Aerosol Experiment (UAE2). This campaign took place in August and September of 2004. The ...
Suborbital Measurements of Spectral Aerosol Optical Depth and Its Variability at Subsatellite Grid Scales in Support of CLAMS 2001
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment, 10 July?2 August 2001, off the central East Coast of the United States, the 14-channel NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer ...
The Joint Aerosol–Monsoon Experiment: A New Challenge for Monsoon Climate Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol- and moonsoon-related droughts and floods are two of the most serious environmental hazards confronting more than 60% of the population of the world living in the Asian monsoon countries. In recent years, thanks ...
The MODIS Aerosol Algorithm, Products, and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard both NASA?s Terra and Aqua satellites is making near-global daily observations of the earth in a wide spectral range (0.41?15 ?m). These measurements are ...
The MERRA-2 Aerosol Reanalysis, 1980 – onward, Part I: System Description and Data Assimilation Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) updates NASA?s previous satellite era (1980 ? onward) reanalysis system to include additional observations and improvements to the ...
Aerosol Properties in Cloudy Environments from Remote Sensing Observations: A Review of the Current State of Knowledge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
