Gustav Mie and the Evolving Discipline of Electromagnetic Scattering by Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The year 2008 marks the centenary of the seminal paper by Gustav Mie on electromagnetic scattering by homogeneous spherical particles. Having been cited in almost 4,000 journal articles since 1955 (according to the Science ...
Global Two-Channel AVHRR Retrievals of Aerosol Properties over the Ocean for the Period of NOAA-9 Observations and Preliminary Retrievals Using NOAA-7 and NOAA-11 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Described is an improved algorithm that uses channel 1 and 2 radiances of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) to retrieve the aerosol optical thickness and Ångström exponent over the ocean. Specifically ...
Spectrally Consistent Scattering, Absorption, and Polarization Properties of Atmospheric Ice Crystals at Wavelengths from 0.2 to 100 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: data library is developed containing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties of ice particles in the spectral range from 0.2 to 100 ?m. The properties are computed based on a combination of the Amsterdam ...
Accurate Monitoring of Terrestrial Aerosols and Total Solar Irradiance: Introducing the Glory Mission
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NASA Glory mission is intended to facilitate and improve upon long-term monitoring of two key forcings influencing global climate. One of the mission's principal objectives is to determine the global distribution of ...
Retrieval of Aerosol Scattering and Absorption Properties from Photopolarimetric Observations over the Ocean during the CLAMS Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The extensive set of measurements performed during the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment provides a unique opportunity to evaluate aerosol retrievals over the ocean from ...
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 ...
