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 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 ...
