Model Assessment of the Ability of MODIS to Measure Top-of-Atmosphere Direct Radiative Forcing from Smoke Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The new generation of satellite sensors such as the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) will be able to detect and characterize global aerosols with an unprecedented accuracy. The question remains whether ...
Chemical Characterization of Aerosols on the East Coast of the United States Using Aircraft and Ground-Based Stations during the CLAMS Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment was carried out off the central East Coast of the United States in July 2001. During CLAMS, aerosol particle mass was measured at two ...
Direct Insertion of MODIS Radiances in a Global Aerosol Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper results are presented from a simple offline assimilation system that uses radiances from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) channels that sense atmospheric aerosols over land and ocean. ...
Two MODIS Aerosol Products over Ocean on the Terra and Aqua CERES SSF Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Understanding the impact of aerosols on the earth?s radiation budget and the long-term climate record requires consistent measurements of aerosol properties and radiative fluxes. The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy ...
Improving National Air Quality Forecasts with Satellite Aerosol Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate air quality forecasts can allow for mitigation of the health risks associated with high levels of air pollution. During September 2003, a team of NASA, NOAA, and EPA researchers demonstrated a prototype tool for ...

An “A-Train” Strategy for Quantifying Direct Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This document outlines a practical strategy for achieving an observationally based quantification of direct climate forcing by anthropogenic aerosols. The strategy involves a four-step program for shifting the current ...
