Interactive comment on “Validation of UV-visible aerosol optical thickness retrieved fromspectroradiometer measurements” by C. Brogniez et al
The manuscript describes a method to obtain spectral aerosol optical thicknesses from measurements with a spectroradiometer in the UV-visible range. The direct solar light is inferred from the difference between total radiation and diffuse radiation. The latter is obtained by the use of a sun blocking disc. An error budget is presented. The results are validated against the measurements with a ...
متن کاملAerosol ultraviolet absorption experiment „2002 to 2004..., part 2: absorption optical thickness, refractive index, and single scattering albedo
Brent N. Holben NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 Abstract. Compared to the visible spectral region, very little is known about aerosol absorption in the UV. Without such information it is impossible to quantify the causes of the observed discrepancy between modeled and measured UV irradiances and photolysis rates. We report results of a 17-month aerosol column absorpti...
متن کاملA long-term record of aerosol optical depth from TOMS observations and comparison to AERONET measurements
Observations of backscattered near-ultraviolet radiation from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on board the Nimbus-7 (1979–92) and the Earth Probe (mid-1996 to present) satellites have been used to derive a long-term record of aerosol optical depth over oceans and continents. The retrieval technique applied to the TOMS data makes use of two unique advantages of near-UV remote sensing...

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...
متن کاملValidation of UV-visible aerosol optical thickness retrieved from spectroradiometer measurements
Global and diffuse UV-visible solar irradiances are routinely measured since 2003 with a spectroradiometer operated by the Laboratoire d’Optique Atmosphérique (LOA) located in Villeneuve d’Ascq, France. The analysis of the direct irradiance derived by cloudless conditions enables retrieving the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) spectrum in the 330–450 nm range. The site hosts also sunphotometers ...
