Global aerosol optical properties and application to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aerosol retrieval over land
[1] As more information about global aerosol properties has become available from remotely sensed retrievals and in situ measurements, it is prudent to evaluate this new information, both on its own and in the context of satellite retrieval algorithms. Using the climatology of almucantur retrievals from global Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Sun photometer sites, we perform cluster analysis t...
متن کاملPhysical and optical aerosol properties at the Dutch North Sea coast based on AERONET observations
Sun photometer measurements at the AERONET station at the North Sea coast in The Hague (The Netherlands) provide a climatology of optical and physical aerosol properties for the area. Results are presented from the period January 2002 to July 2003. For the analysis and interpretation these data are coupled to chemical aerosol data from a nearby station of the Dutch National Air Quality Network....
متن کاملEvaluation of VIIRS Land Aerosol Model Selection with AERONET Measurements
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a next-generation polar-orbiting operational environmental sensor with a capability for global aerosol observations. Identifying land aerosol types is important because aerosol types are a basic input in retrieving aerosol optical properties for VIIRS. The VIIRS algorithm can automatically select the optimal land aerosol model by minimizi...
متن کاملGOES-8 and NOAA-14 AVHRR retrieval of smoke aerosol optical thickness during SCAR-B
Using the NOAA-14 1-km Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-8) imager data, smoke aerosol optical thickness (t) is retrieved over land during the Smoke, Clouds and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) experiment in Brazil during August–September 1995. The satellite-retrievedt values are then compared against ground-based sunphotom...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Aerosol microphysical retrievals from Precision Filter Radiometer direct solar radiation measurements and comparison with AERONET” by S. Kazadzis et al
The authors present results of measurements with a precision filter radiometer and compare their results to collocated measurements carried out with an AERONET (CIMEL) sun photometer. The purpose of the study is to show that the measurements of the precision filter radiometer, which is used by the GAW aerosol network, can be used to extend the data available from AERONET sun photometers. The au...
