Aerosol models from the AERONET database: application to surface reflectance validation [PDF]
Abstract. Aerosols play a critical role in radiative transfer within the atmosphere, and they have a significant impact on climate change. In this paper, we propose and implement a framework for developing an aerosol model using their microphysical properties. Such microphysical properties as the size distribution, the complex refractive index, and the

Observationally-constrained estimates of global fine-mode AOD [PDF]
Small aerosols are mostly anthropogenic, and the fine-mode aerosol optical depth (fAOD) can be used to infer anthropogenic aerosol amounts. We estimate AOD and fAOD globally on a monthly time scale from 2001 to 2010 by integrating monthly satellite-based

AERONET data–based determination of aerosol types
AbstractAerosols are among the most interesting topics investigated by researchers because of their complicated characteristics and poor quantification. Moreover, significant uncertainties are associated with changes in the Earth's radiation budget. Previous studies have shown numerous difficulties and challenges in quantifying aerosol influences.

Evaluation of VIIRS Land Aerosol Model Selection with AERONET Measurements [PDF]
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a next-generation polar-orbiting operational environmental sensor with a capability for global aerosol observations. Identifying land aerosol types is important because aerosol types are a basic input in retrieving aerosol optical properties for VIIRS. The VIIRS algorithm can automatically select
