Variability of Absorption and Optical Properties of Key Aerosol Types Observed in Worldwide Locations
Aerosol radiative forcing is a critical, though variable and uncertain, component of the global climate. Yet climate models rely on sparse information of the aerosol optical properties. In situ… Expand

TLDR
We will describe the various algorithms being used for the remote sensing of cloud properties from MODIS data with an emphasis on the pixel-level retrievals (referred to as Level-2 products), with 1-km or 5-km spatial resolution at nadir. Expand

Aerosol properties over bright-reflecting source regions
TLDR
We propose a new approach to retrieve aerosol properties from satellite remote sensing over bright surfaces, where the surface reflectance is usually very bright in the red part of visible spectrum and in the near infrared, but is much darker in the blue spectral region. Expand

Determination of the Optical Thickness and Effective Particle Radius of Clouds from Reflected Solar Radiation Measurements. Part II: Marine Stratocumulus Observations
A multispectral scanning radiometer has been used to obtain measurements of the reflection function of marine stratocumulus clouds at 0.75, 1.65 and 2.16 pm. These observations were obtained from the… Expand

Remote sensing of cloud, aerosol, and water vapor properties from the moderate resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS)
TLDR
The authors describe the status of MODIS-N and its companion instrumentMODIS-T (tilt), a tiltable cross-track scanning spectrometer with 32 uniformly spaced channels between 0.410 and 0.875 mu m. Expand

Cloud and aerosol properties, precipitable water, and profiles of temperature and water vapor from MODIS
TLDR
MODIS provides images in 36 spectral bands between 0.415 and 14.235 /spl mu/m with spatial resolutions of 250 m (two bands), 500 m (five bands), and 1000 m (29 bands). Expand

Deep Blue Retrievals of Asian Aerosol Properties During ACE-Asia
TLDR
In this paper, the newly developed satellite aerosol algorithm called "Deep Blue" was employed to characterize the properties of aerosols over source regions using radiance measurements from the Seaviewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
