Continuing the MODIS Dark Target Aerosol Time Series with VIIRS
Remote Sensing, 2020 For reflected sunlight observed from space at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, particles suspended in Earth’s atmosphere provide contrast with vegetation or dark water at the surface. This is the physical motivation for the Dark Target (DT) aerosol

The ESA Climate Change Initiative: Satellite Data Records for Essential Climate Variables [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2013 Observations of Earth from space have been made for over 40 years and have contributed to advances in many aspects of climate science. However, attempts to exploit this wealth of data are often hampered by a lack of homogeneity and continuity and by insufficient understanding of the products and their uncertainties.
