Sensitivity of multiangle remote sensing observations to aerosol sphericity

Multiangle Remote Sensing of Aerosols Over Ocean

Multiangle, multispectral remote sensing observations, such as those anticipated from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), can significantly improve our ability to constrain aerosol properties from space. According to theoretical simulations, we can retrieve column optical depth from measurements over calm ocean, for particles with typical size distribut...

Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing

A new aerosol retrieval algorithm is presented which computes the spectral opti-cal depth over the ocean from spaceborne radiometers. It includes both multiplescattering and the bi-directional re ectance of the ocean surface. The algorithmis applied to data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).This radiometer aboard the ERS-2 satellite has 4 bands in the visible a...

Aerosol Remote Sensing Using AATSR

The aim of this document is to describe the work I have been doing over the past year, and show how it will be built upon over the next two years to create a viable doctorate thesis. In this report I provide a brief overview of atmospheric aerosol (Chapter 1) and how we can use probe this aerosol in the atmosphere, focussing on the AATSR instrument in particular (Chapter 2). I then (Chapter 3) ...
