Improving Retrieval Accuracy for Aerosol Optical Depth by Fusion of Modis and Caliop Data
Original scientific paper MODIS and CALIOP are two independent observation instruments in the A-train satellite constellation. They both provide aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals and scan the same points on the Earth’s surface within a two-minute interval. With different design principles, MODIS and CALIOP instruments obtain varying AOD retrieval accuracies under different conditions. In t...
متن کاملEvaluation of CALIOP 532 nm aerosol optical depth over opaque water clouds
With its height-resolved measurements and near global coverage, the CALIOP lidar onboard the CALIPSO satellite offers a new capability for aerosol retrievals in cloudy skies. Validation of these retrievals is difficult, however, as independent, collocated and co-temporal data sets are generally not available. In this paper, we evaluate CALIOP aerosol products above opaque water clouds by applyi...
متن کاملMODIS Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth over Turbid Coastal Water
We present a new approach to retrieve Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over the turbid coastal water. This approach supplements the operational Dark Target (DT) aerosol retrieval algorithm that currently does not conduct AOD retrieval in shallow waters that have visible sediments or sea-floor (i.e., Class 2 waters). Over the global coas...
متن کاملValidation of MODIS aerosol optical depth retrieval over land
[1] Aerosol optical depths (ta) are derived operationally for the first time from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) measurements over vegetated and partially vegetated land at 0.47 and 0.66 mm wavelengths. The extensive validation made during July – September 2000 encompasses 315 co-located ta in space and time derived by MODIS and AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) from ...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Properties over China from RAMS-CMAQ Model Compared with CALIOP Observations
The horizontal and vertical distributions of aerosol optical properties over China in 2013–2015 were investigated using RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System)-CMAQ (Models-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality) simulations and CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization) observations. To better understand the performance of the RAMS-CMAQ model over China, comparisons with the gro...
