Longwave radiative forcing of Saharan dust aerosols estimated from MODIS, MISR, and CERES observations on Terra
[1] Using observations from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments onboard the Terra satellite; we present a new technique for studying longwave (LW) radiative forcing of dust aerosols over the Saharan desert for cloud-free conditions. The monthly-mean L...
متن کاملFusing MODIS, MISR and CERES Satellite Data for Aerosol Research
Fusing MODIS, MISR and CERES Satellite Data for Aerosol Research Sundar A. Christopher, Pawan Gupta and Falguni Patadia The University of Alabama in Huntsville Huntsville, AL 35805 [email protected] Abstract Combining data sets from multiple satellite sensors is a powerful method for studying earth-atmosphere problems. By fusing data, we can utilize the strengths of the individual instrument...
متن کاملAdvances in Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Satellite Instrument
This study introduces new CERES Angular Distribution Models (ADMs) for estimating shortwave, longwave and window top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes from broadband radiance measurements. By combining CERES measurements with narrowband, high-resolution imager measurements, up to a factor 4 improvement in TOA flux accuracy is achieved compared to TOA flux estimates from previous experiments, such ...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Next-generation angular distribution models for top-of-atmosphere radiative flux calculation from the CERES instruments: methodology” by W. Su et al
The manuscript describes the methodology employed to derive the current angular distribution models (ADMs) for the CERES instruments, i.e. the radiance-to-flux conversion algorithms for CERES thermal and solar measurements. This paper is necessary to document the new CERES product Ed4SSF, which improves the retrieval of cloud parameters and TOA flux with respect to previous versions. The enhanc...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
