RISSpurious Signals in TRMM/VIRS Reflectance Channels and Their Effect on Aerosol Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol optical depths, τ1 and τ2, and the Ångström exponent α = ?ln(τ1/τ2)/ln(?1/?2), are retrieved from daytime measurements (sun zenith angle ?o < 60°) over ocean in reflectance bands 1 (?1 = 0.63 µm) and 2 (?2 = 1.61 ...
Estimation of the Aerosol Phase Function in Backscatter from Simultaneous Satellite and Sun-Photometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The backscatter part of the aerosol phase function PA(?), where ? is the scattering angle, is difficult to measure from the ground. Experimental data for ? > 120° are not reported in the literature. Customarily, PA(?) is ...
Aerosol Retrievals from Individual AVHRR Channels. Part II: Quality Control, Probability Distribution Functions, Information Content, and Consistency Checks of Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This second part of a two-part study evaluates retrievals of aerosol optical depths, τ1 and τ2, in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) channels 1 and 2 centered at ?1 = 0.63 and ?2 = 0.83 ?m, and an effective ...
Aerosol Retrievals from Individual AVHRR Channels. Part I: Retrieval Algorithm and Transition from Dave to 6S Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present second-generation aerosol retrieval algorithm over oceans used at NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) separately retrieves two values of aerosol optical depth, τ1 and ...
Physical Basis, Premises, and Self-Consistency Checks of Aerosol Retrievals from TRMM VIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper outlines the processing stream for aerosol retrievals over oceans from the visible and infrared scanner [VIRS; a five-channel radiometer similar to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s Advanced ...
In situ SST Quality Monitor (iQuam)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he quality of in situ sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is critical for calibration and validation of satellite SSTs. In situ SSTs come from different countries, agencies, and platforms. As a result, their quality is often ...
Adaptive Reduction of Striping for Improved Sea Surface Temperature Imagery from Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite was successfully launched on 28 October 2011. It carries five new-generation instruments, including the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The ...
Monthly Mean Diurnal Cycles in Surface Temperatures over Land for Global Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly mean diurnal cycles (MDCs) of surface temperatures over land, represented in 3-h universal time intervals, have been analyzed. Satellite near-global data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project ...
Monitoring of IR Clear-Sky Radiances over Oceans for SST (MICROS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onitoring of IR Clear-Sky Radiances over Oceans for SST (MICROS) is a Web-based tool to monitor ?model minus observation? (M ? O) biases in clear-sky brightness temperatures (BTs) and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) produced ...
Aerosol Retrievals from the Multiyear Multisatellite AVHRR Pathfinder Atmosphere (PATMOS) Dataset for Correcting Remotely Sensed Sea Surface Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight-year (1990?98), two-satellite (NOAA-11 and -14), global daily ?(110 km)2 gridded observations from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Pathfinder Atmosphere (PATMOS) dataset have been previously ...
