Abstract: Mariner 10 Venus images are analyzed into power spectra of the brightness field for planetary zonal wavenumbers n≥3 and for latitudes from 55°?25°N. These spectra are examined for significant features and latitudinal ...

Abstract: To evaluate the global effects of aerosols on the direct radiative balance, tropospheric chemistry, and cloud properties of the earth's atmosphere requires high-precision remote sensing that is sensitive to the aerosol ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: A comprehensive and cohesive aerosol measurement record with consistent, well-understood uncertainties is a prerequisite to understanding aerosol impacts on long-term climate and environmental variability. Objectives to ...

Abstract: Aerosols exert myriad influences on the earth's environment and climate, and on human health. The complexity of aerosol-related processes requires that information gathered to improve our understanding of climate change ...
