Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission was launched in April 2006 and has continuously acquired collocated multisensor observations of the spatial and optical properties of ...
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 ...
