Quasi-biennial and quasi-triennial oscillations in geomagnetic activity indices
Data for geomagnetic activity index aa for 1868±1994 were subjected to spectral analysis for 12 intervals each of 11 consecutive years. In each interval, QBO and QTO (quasi-biennial and quasi-triennial oscillations) were observed at 2:00, 2.15, 2.40, 2.70 y and 3:20, 3.40 y, but not all in all intervals. These ̄uctuations are absent near (2±3 y before and after) the sunspot minima and are presen...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Depth Prediction from Satellite Observations
Aerosols are small airborne particles that both reflect and absorb incoming solar radiation and whose effect on the Earth’s radiation budget is one of the biggest challenges of current climate research. To help address this challenge, numerous satellite sensors are employed to achieve globalscale monitoring of aerosols. Given the satellite measurements, the common objective is prediction of Aer...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Depth Spatial and Temporal Variability Using Satellite Data Over Indian Major Cities
Introduction: The study’s main aim is to investigate the long-term variation of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD). It also aims to show the relationship between meteorological parameters. This study evaluates long-term (2010 to 2021) special and temporal changes over major Indian regions using satellite-based data from NASA’s Terra Satellite. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out during ...
متن کاملAerosol Size Distributions Obtained by Inversion of Spectral Optical Depth Measurements
Columnar aerosol size distributions have been inferred by numerically,inverting particulate optical depth measurements as a function of wavelength. An inversion formula which explicitly includes the magnitude of the measurement variances is derived and applied to optical depth measurements obtained in Tucson with a solar radiometer. It is found that the individual size distributions of the aero...
متن کاملDirect spectral measurements with a Brewer spectroradiometer: absolute calibration and aerosol optical depth retrieval.
We present three different methods for the absolute calibration of direct spectral irradiances measured with a Brewer spectroradiometer, which are shown to agree to within +/- 2%. Direct irradiance spectra derived by Brewer and Bentham spectroradiometers agree to within 4 +/- 3%. Good agreement was also found by a comparison of the aerosol optical depth and Angstrom exponent retrieved by the tw...
