Interactive comment on “Retrieval of aerosol absorption properties using the AATSR satellite instrument: a case study of wildfires over Russia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The basic premise behind the retrieval is to iterate the mixing ratios of two aerosol models for each size mode. (Weakly and a strongly absorbing aerosol models are used for the fine mode, sea salt and dust models are used for the coarse mode.) Ideally, the retrieval will produce the mixing ratios that best describe the measured radiances at 3-4 wavelengths. (The mixing ratio of dust and sea salt is not retrieved, though; rather,

Aerosol Remote Sensing over Ocean in Glint Contaminated Regions Using Aatsr and Meris
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer MERIS and the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer AATSR instruments, both onboard ESA’s Environmental Satellite ENVISAT, provide similar spatial resolution and swath, but complementary information, encompassing different spectral domains and viewing geometries. Recent geophysical algorithms do not take advantage of a synergetic use of the measurem...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal variability of aerosol characteristics in Iran using remotely sensed datasets
The present study is the first attempt to examine temporal and spatial characteristics of aerosol properties and classify their modes over Iran. The data used in this study include the records of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Angstrom Exponent (AE) from MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Aerosol Index (AI) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), obtained from 2005 t...

متن کاملTropospheric aerosol characterization: from GOME towards an ENVISAT perspective
The interest in aerosol observations from satellite passive instrument is steadily increasing as a result of the better understanding of the key role played by aerosols within the climate system. Satellite instruments supply global observations for establishing the aerosol climatology and characterizing single aerosol events. Since the 1980s data from geostationary meteorological satellites, su...

Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...
