RISAerosol 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 ...
Evaluation of the MODIS Aerosol Retrievals over Ocean and Land during CLAMS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
EOS Terra Aerosol and Radiative Flux Validation: An Overview of the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: NASA developed an Earth Observing System (EOS) to study global change and reduce uncertainties associated with aerosols and other key parameters controlling climate. The first EOS satellite, Terra, was launched in December ...
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 ...
ARM Southern Great Plains Site Observations of the Smoke Pall Associated with the 1998 Central American Fires
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drought-stricken areas of Central America and Mexico were victimized in 1998 by forest and brush fires that burned out of control during much of the first half of the year. Wind currents at various times during the episode ...
