(a)atsr Re-analysis for Climate - Cloud Clearing Methodology
The aim of the (A)ATSR re-analysis for climate project is to derive a homogeneous record of SST covering 1991 to 2007 from the observations of the series of three ATSR radiometers. One feature of the existing (A)ATSR record that could be improved is the high cloud-clearing false alarm rate produced by the largescale spatial coherence and histogram tests. To address this issue, a new scheme usin...
متن کاملDeriving a Sea Surface Temperature Record Suitable for Climate Change Research from the along - Track Scanning Radiometers
(SST) products currently available from the series of (Advanced) Along Track Scanning Radiometers, or (A)ATSRs, are found have small biases on regional scales (typically up to 0.3 K) and excellent error statistics in validation (~0.25 K or better). Long-term stability is at present poorly characterized. Work towards " version 3 " SSTs is under way within a project called (A)RC: (A)ATSR Re-analy...
متن کاملSaharan Dust Corrections for the Envisat Aatsr Sst Product
The Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) on board ENVISAT is the third in a series of instruments, together with ATSR-1 and -2 on board ERS 1 & 2, to establish a 16 year dataset of high accuracy (±0.3K) skin sea surface temperature (SST) data. These data are extremely useful for climate change and numerical weather prediction (NWP). However, tropospheric aerosols such as Saharan dus...
متن کاملThe Globcarbon Initiative: Global Biophysical Products for Global Terrestrial Carbon Studies
Understanding the spatial and temporal variation in carbon fluxes is essential to constrain models that predict climate change. However, our current knowledge of spatial and temporal patterns is uncertain, particularly over land. The European Space Agency (ESA) GLOBCARBON project was initiated to generate fully calibrated estimates of at-land products quasi-independent of the original Earth Obs...
متن کاملComparison of Satellite-Derived Land Surface Temperature and Air Temperature from Meteorological Stations on the Pan-Arctic Scale
Satellite-based temperature measurements are an important indicator for global climate change studies over large areas. Records from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and (Advanced) Along Track Scanning Radiometer ((A)ATSR) are providing long-term time series information. Assessing the quality of remote sensing-based temperat...
