Satellite-based assessment of cloud-free net radiative effect of dust aerosols over the Atlantic Ocean
[1] Using eighteen months (June–August, 2000–2005) of spatially and temporally collocated Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data from the Terra satellite over the Atlantic Ocean [10W–60W, 0–30N], we first separate the dust aerosol optical thickness at 0.55 mm (AOT) from the total column MODIS AOT. We then calculate...

متن کاملSatellite-derived direct radiative effect of aerosols dependent on cloud cover
Aerosols from biomass burning can alter the radiative balance of the Earth by reflecting and absorbing solar radiation1. Whether aerosols exert a net cooling or a net warming effect will depend on the aerosol type and the albedo of the underlying surface2. Here, we use a satellite-based approach to quantify the direct, top-of-atmosphere radiative effect of aerosol layers advected over the partl...
متن کاملAerosols and Climate: a Perspective over East Asia
Aerosol is becoming a central theme in the climate research arena, due to many new findings concerning their significant direct and indirect effects on climate (e.g. by altering temperature, cloud, radiation and precipitation) and to the large uncertainties in our estimates of aerosol forcing on climate. Despite the large loading and complex properties of East Asian aerosols, our knowledge of t...
