RISEffects 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) ...
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 ...
Comparison of an Experimental NOAA AVHRR Cloud Dataset with Other Observed and Forecast Cloud Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: CLAVR [cloud from AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)] is a global cloud dataset under development at NOAA/NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service). Total cloud amount from two ...
Sun-Photometer Observations of Aerosol Optical Thickness over the North Atlantic from a Soviet Research Vessel for Validation of Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of aerosol optical thickness (τA) retrieval using sun-photometer measurements. The results of the theoretical analysis and computer processing of the dataset collected during the 40th ...
