Dust aerosol forward scattering effects on ground-based aerosol optical depth retrievals
Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations are performed to examine the forward scattering effects on retrievals of dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) from ground-based instruments. We consider dust aerosols with different AOD, effective radius and imaginary refractive index at 0.5 mm wavelength. The shape of dust aerosols is assumed to be spheroids and the equivalent spheres that preserve both ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Neural Network-Based Approach for Aerosol Optical Depth Retrieval and Uncertainty Estimation
In many applications of the neural networks, predicting the conditional average of the target variable is not sufficient. Often, real life problems also require estimation of the uncertainty. In this study, uncertainty analysis is applied on a remote sensing problem of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) estimation. AOD is one of the most important properties of the atmosphere that indicates the amount...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Depth Prediction from Satellite Observations
Aerosols are small airborne particles that both reflect and absorb incoming solar radiation and whose effect on the Earth’s radiation budget is one of the biggest challenges of current climate research. To help address this challenge, numerous satellite sensors are employed to achieve globalscale monitoring of aerosols. Given the satellite measurements, the common objective is prediction of Aer...
متن کاملComparison of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) Derived from Ground-Based LIDAR and MODIS
The performance and application of AOD products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are studied by comparing with the AOD derived from the ground-based Doppler LIDAR inside the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). The backscattered power data of the LIDAR are used to determine the extinction coefficient profile, from which the AOD is calculated. The AOD determined ...
متن کاملComparison of Four Ground-Level PM2.5 Estimation Models Using PARASOL Aerosol Optical Depth Data from China.
Satellite remote sensing is of considerable importance for estimating ground-level PM2.5 concentrations to support environmental agencies monitoring air quality. However, most current studies have focused mainly on the application of MODIS aerosol optical depth (AOD) to predict PM2.5 concentrations, while PARASOL AOD, which is sensitive to fine-mode aerosols over land surfaces, has received lit...
