[1] Using 30 days of hourly geostationary satellite (GMS5 imager) data and discrete ordinate radiative transfer (DISORT) calculations, aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 0.67 mm was retrieved over the west Pacific Ocean (20 N–45 N, 110 E–150 E) during the Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) intensive observation period in April 2001. Different from previous one-channel retrieval algo...

Atmospheric correction over inland and coastal waters is one of the major remaining challenges in aquatic remote sensing, often hindering quantitative retrieval biogeochemical variables analysis their spatial temporal variability within environments. The Correction Intercomparison Exercise (ACIX-Aqua), a joint NASA – ESA activity, was initiated to enable thorough evaluation eight state-of-the-a...

The space-borne measured fine-mode aerosol optical depth (fAOD) is a gross index of column-integrated anthropogenic particulate pollutants, especially over the populated land. fAOD product AOD and fraction (FMF). While there exist numerous global products derived from many different satellite sensors, have been much fewer, if any, FMF with quality good enough to understand their spatiotemporal ...

This study aims to evaluate the performance of long-term Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue (DB) Collection 6.1 (C6.1) in determining spatiotemporal variation aerosol optical depth (AOD) and types over Indonesia. For this purpose, monthly MODIS DB AOD datasets are directly compared with Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 Level 2.0 (cloud-screened qual...

Abstract. Two layers of Saharan dust observed over Leipzig, Germany, in February and March 2021 were used to provide the first-ever lidar measurements ratio (extinction-to-backscatter ratio) linear depolarization at all three classical wavelengths (355, 532 1064 nm). The pure-dust conditions during first event exhibit ratios 47 ± 8, 50 5 69 14 sr particle 0.242 0.024, 0.299 0.018 0.206 0.010 35...
