چکیده

Actually, we could have even applied the PCA to the entire observation vector (reflectance + DLP). This topic is slightly controversial, and conflicting opinions can be encountered in literature on this topic. We decided to apply the PCA separately in order not to mix two physically “inhomogeneous” quantities, because we feel that this approach is more “traceable” from a physical standpoint, even though we recognize that this does not necessarily lead to better results. The rationale may be described as follows. The physical variables of the retrieval problem are the vector of reflectances and the vector of DLPs (together with the SZA and the surface pressure). Since the reflectance vector and the DLP vector are representative of inherently different physical quantities, we consider them as living in two separate vector spaces, and therefore we look for a minimal representation of each quantity in its own vector space, with the PCA providing the vector basis for such representation in both cases.

Multi-Observations Initial Orbit Determination based on Angle-Only Measurements

A new approach with the ability to use the multiple observations based on the least square approach has been proposed for initial orbit determination. This approach considers the Earth’s Oblateness by using the developed Lagrange coefficients. The efficiency of the proposed method has been tested in two scenarios. The first scenario is to use the simulated and the second one is to utilize the r...

Interactive comment on “Monitoring and tracking the trans-Pacific transport of aerosols using multi-satellite aerosol optical depth retrievals” by A. R. Naeger et al

The paper “Monitoring and tracking the trans-Pacific transport of aerosols using multisatellite aerosol optical depth retrievals” by Naeger et al. describes a new merged AOD product, which integrates different existing and new Level 2 products from LEO and GEO satellite instruments. This merged AOD product is applied to monitor and track a trans-Pacific aerosol outbreak event from Asia to the U...

Modeling and Multi-Objective Optimization of Stall Control on NACA0015 Airfoil with a Synthetic Jet using GMDH Type Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms

This study concerns numerical simulation, modeling and optimization of aerodynamic stall control using a synthetic jet actuator. Thenumerical simulation was carried out by a large-eddy simulation that employs a RNG-based model as the subgrid-scale model. The flow around a NACA0015 airfoil, including a synthetic jet located at 10 % of the chord, is studied under Reynolds number Re = 12.7 × 106 a...

Interactive comment on “Understanding the drivers of marine liquid-water cloud occurrence and properties with global observations using neural networks” by Hendrik Andersen et al

This paper addresses a topic of significant current research, namely quantifying the effect of aerosols on cloud properties. The authors note the importance of local meteorology in determining the properties of clouds and that as meteorological factors are also correlated to aerosol properties, this can obscure the influence of aerosols on cloud properties. To explore the role of meteorology an...
