  • INDOEX aerosol optical depths and radiative forcing derived from AVHRR

    Creator:
    Tahnk, William Richard
    Abstract:
    The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) had as a primary objective determining the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic aerosols over climatologically significant space and time scales: the Indian Ocean during the winter monsoon, January-March. During the winter monsoon, polluted, low-level air from the Asian subcontinent blows over the Arabian Sea and...

  • Properties of low-level marine clouds as deduced from advanced very high resolution radiometer satellite observations

    Creator:
    Chang, Fu-Lung
    Abstract:
    A radiation model was developed for retrieving cloud visible optical depth, droplet effective radius, and cloud top emission temperature using AVHRR satellite observations at 0.63, 3.7, and 11 μm. The model was used to determine the sensitivity of the retrieved properties to various approximations often employed in such retrievals. Droplet...
