Aerosol impact and correction on temperature profile retrieval from MODIS

Effect and Improvement of Aerosol on Temperature Profile from MODI

Validation of MODIS aerosol retrieval over ocean

[1] The MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) algorithm for determining aerosol characteristics over ocean is performing within expected accuracy. A twomonth data set of MODIS retrievals co-located with observations from the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) ground-based sunphotometer network provides the necessary validation. Spectral radiation measured by MODIS (in the range 5...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Full Screen / Esc Print Version Interactive Discussion EGU Abstract A four year record of MODIS spaceborne data provides a new measurement tool to assess the aerosol direct radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere. MODIS derives the aerosol optical thickness ...

Aerosol Optical Thickness Retrieval over Land from MODIS Data on Remote Sensing Information Service Grid Node

The signal at the top of the atmosphere will certainly contain information about both the surface and the atmosphere. To derive the geophysical parameters from satellites remote sensing images, the atmospheric effects must be decoupled. Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT), an important aerosol optical property, should be correctly determined to remove the atmospheric effect. The retrieval process i...

MODIS Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth over Turbid Coastal Water

We present a new approach to retrieve Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over the turbid coastal water. This approach supplements the operational Dark Target (DT) aerosol retrieval algorithm that currently does not conduct AOD retrieval in shallow waters that have visible sediments or sea-floor (i.e., Class 2 waters). Over the global coas...
