Abstract: Theoretical two-and three-dimensional solutions to the radiative transfer equation have been applied to the earth-atmosphere system. A field experiment was conducted to test this theory. in the experiment the upward radiance ...

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 ...

Abstract: The Chesapeake Lighthouse Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment took place from 10 July to 2 August 2001 in a combined ocean?land region that included the Chesapeake Lighthouse [Clouds and the Earth?s ...

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 ...
