Retrieval of aerosol optical depth using UV−B MFRSR at Storm Peak Laboratory
نویسنده
چکیده
A retrieval of aerosol optical depth is performed utilizing six spectral values of of ultraviolet radiation data obtained during a field experiment from 12−14 Feb. 2001 to the Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL.) Data was collected by the USDA UV−B multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) on top of Mt. Werner over a period of ten hours (1400−0000 UTC) and is publicly available at the USDA UV−B website. Total optical depth is calculated via linear regression of Langley diagram parameters, and aerosol optical depth is calculated by removing computed Rayleigh and ozone optical depths.

متن کاملRetrieval of aerosol single scattering albedo at ultraviolet wavelengths at the T1 site during MILAGRO
Surface measurements of direct and diffuse voltages at UV wavelengths were made at the T1 site during the MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations) field campaign in March 2006, using a multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (UV-MFRSR). We used the MFRSR data, together with measurements from a co-located CIMEL Sun photometer at the site operating as part of the A...

In this paper, we explore the performance of a novel NASA-GISS algorithm which is used to calibrate and extract aerosol optical depth (AOD) from a portable Multi-filter Shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) instrument in comparison to the standard Langley regression algorithm. We show that the NASA-GISS algorithm results has stable calibration coefficients in comparison to those obtained using the conv...
متن کاملEstimating Aerosol Absorption, Optical Depth, and Vertical Extent Using Satellite Measurements in the UV/Blue Spectral Domain
Until recently, the retrieval of aerosol absorption properties from space seemed so prone to error as to be almost worthless. The principal difficulty being that if the aerosol optical depth is relatively low, then the signal measured at the satellite is proportional to ωτP(θ), where ω is the singlescattering albedo, τ is the optical depth and θ is the scattering angle. It is, therefore, imposs...
