Remote sensing of aerosol water fraction, dry size distribution and soluble fraction using multi-angle, multi-spectral polarimetry

Aerosol optical depth and fine-mode fraction retrieval over East Asia using multi-angular total and polarized remote sensing

A new aerosol retrieval algorithm using multiangular total and polarized measurements is presented. The algorithm retrieves aerosol optical depth (AOD), fine-mode fraction (FMF) for studying the impact of aerosol on climate change. The retrieval algorithm is based on a lookup table (LUT) method, which assumes that one fine and one coarse lognormal aerosol modes can be combined with proper weigh...

Aerosol Layer Height Over Water from O2 A-band: Mono-Angle Hyperspectral and/or Bi-spectral Multi-Angle Observations

Success of NASA’s Phytoplankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission 1 depends critically on atmospheric correction to retrieve inherent properties of oceanic waters. 2 Previously unexplored UV wavelengths are the most challenging to correct due to large signals 3 from Rayleigh and aerosol scattering. The dominant Rayleigh component makes it difficult to 4 separate absorption by ...

Aerosol Remote Sensing Using AATSR

The aim of this document is to describe the work I have been doing over the past year, and show how it will be built upon over the next two years to create a viable doctorate thesis. In this report I provide a brief overview of atmospheric aerosol (Chapter 1) and how we can use probe this aerosol in the atmosphere, focussing on the AATSR instrument in particular (Chapter 2). I then (Chapter 3) ...
