Retrievals of atmospheric CO2 from simulated space-borne measurements of backscattered near-infrared sunlight: accounting for aerosol effects.
Retrievals of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from space-borne measurements of backscattered near-infrared sunlight are hampered by aerosol and cirrus cloud scattering effects. We propose a retrieval approach that allows for the retrieval of a few effective aerosol parameters simultaneously with the CO2 total column by parameterizing particle amount, height distribution, and microphysical prop...
متن کاملAerosol speckle effects on atmospheric pulsed lidar backscattered signals.
The effects of refractive turbulence along the path on the aerosol speckle field propagation and on the decorrelation time are studied for coherent pulsed lidar systems.
متن کاملAtmospheric aerosol measurements from satellites
Satellite instruments are commonly used for measurements of aerosol optical properties in the atmosphere. In this work we use such measurements for ultra-high energy cosmic ray studies. We introduce a method of preparation of aerosol maps for the location of the Pierre Auger Observatory. For these maps the data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) of the Aura satellite were analyzed for t...
متن کاملCH4 retrievals from space‐based solar backscatter measurements: Performance evaluation against simulated aerosol and cirrus loaded scenes
[1] Monitoring of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations from space‐based instruments such as the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) and the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) relies on observations of sunlight backscattered to space by the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Retrieval biases occur due to unaccounted scattering effects by a...
متن کاملCO2 retrievals from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder: Methodology and validation
[2] Although it was designed for high resolution/accurate temperature and moisture profiles, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Earth-Observing System (NASAEOS) Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is capable of measuring variations in carbon trace gases such as CO2 [Chédin et al., 2003; Crevoisier et al., 2003; Engelen and Stephens, 2004; Aumann et al., 2005]. This capability cou...
