Global assessment of OMI aerosol single-scattering albedo using ground-based AERONET inversion

Measuring Aerosol Absorption from Omi near Uv Observations

An assessment of OMI retrievals of aerosol properties is presented. We compare OMI retrieved values of extinction and absorption optical depth, and aerosol single scattering albedo to AERONET ground-based measurements. An evaluation of the accuracy of the retrievals for a limited number of observations under cloud-free conditions shows a positive offset of about 0.03 in retrieved optical depth....

Assessment and Improvement of MISR Angstrom Exponent and Single-Scattering Albedo Products Using AERONET Data in China

Mapping the components, size, and absorbing/scattering properties of particle pollution is of great interest in the environmental and public health fields. Although the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) can detect a greater number of aerosol microphysical properties than most other spaceborne sensors, the Angstrom exponent (AE) and single-scattering albedo (SSA) products are not wide...

Aerosol single scattering albedo estimated across China from a combination of ground and satellite measurements

[1] Single scattering albedo (SSA) governs the strength of aerosols in absorbing solar radiation, but few methods are available to directly measure this important quantity. There currently exist many ground-based measurements of spectral transmittance from which aerosol optical thickness (AOT) are retrieved under clear sky conditions. Reflected radiances at the top of the atmosphere as measured...

Aerosol single-scattering albedo and asymmetry parameter from MFRSR observations during the ARM Aerosol IOP

Validation of Omi Total Ozone Using Ground-based Brewer Observations

Near-to-real time as well as “archive quality” Brewer total ozone observations, which are performed with well maintained and calibrated instruments over the Northern Hemisphere have been used for the validation of the total ozone column product of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the NASA EOS-Aura satellite. During the commissioning phase of OMI, the near-to-real time ground-based d...
