RISAerosol Retrievals from Individual AVHRR Channels. Part II: Quality Control, Probability Distribution Functions, Information Content, and Consistency Checks of Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This second part of a two-part study evaluates retrievals of aerosol optical depths, τ1 and τ2, in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) channels 1 and 2 centered at ?1 = 0.63 and ?2 = 0.83 ?m, and an effective ...
Aerosol Retrievals from Individual AVHRR Channels. Part I: Retrieval Algorithm and Transition from Dave to 6S Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present second-generation aerosol retrieval algorithm over oceans used at NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) separately retrieves two values of aerosol optical depth, τ1 and ...
Physical Basis, Premises, and Self-Consistency Checks of Aerosol Retrievals from TRMM VIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper outlines the processing stream for aerosol retrievals over oceans from the visible and infrared scanner [VIRS; a five-channel radiometer similar to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s Advanced ...
Effects of Particulate Matter on the Radiance of Terrestrial Infrared Radiation: RESULTS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of particulate matter on the radiance of the emerging terrestrial infrared radiation for six wave-numbers in the wings and centers of the 6.3-µm water vapor and 15-µm carbon dioxide absorption bands have been ...
Evaluating the Potential for Retrieving Aerosol Optical Depth over Land from AVHRR Pathfinder Atmosphere Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In spite of numerous studies on the remote sensing of aerosols from satellites, the magnitude of aerosol climate forcing remains uncertain. However, data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part III: CERES-I Diurnal Sampling Error
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accuracy estimates for the broadband CERES-I (Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument) measurements of daily average radiant exitance are presented. This is a continuation of the authors? earlier CERES sampling ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part I: Instantaneous Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of system simulations has been performed to evaluate candidate scanner designs for an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument (ERBI) for the Earth Observing System (EOS) of the late 1990s. Five different instruments are ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part II: Minimization of Instantaneous Sampling Errors for CERES-I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Much of the new record of broadband earth radiation budget satellite measurements to be obtained during the late 1990s and early twenty-first century will come from the dual-radiometer Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy ...
Scientific Basis and Initial Evaluation of the CLAVR-1 Global Clear/Cloud Classification Algorithm for the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm for the remote sensing of global cloud cover using multispectral radiance measurements from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on board National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ...
The Nimbus-7 Global Cloud Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A total of six years (April 1979 to March 1985) of continuous measurements from the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), both on the Nimbus-7 satellite, have been ...
