Monochromatic measurements of the JPSS-1 VIIRS polarization sensitivity [PDF]
Polarization sensitivity is a critical property that must be characterized for spaceborne remote sensing instruments designed to measure reflected solar radiation. Broadband testing of the first Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System (JPSS-1) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) showed unexpectedly large polarization sensitivities for the ...

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Atmospheric Constituent Data Assimilation in NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System
Abstract Many of today's most significant and urgent scientific questions, including those about the impact of human activity on air quality and radiative forcing, require the synthesis of observations of atmospheric constituents and scientific theory.

Howard University Beltsville Campus Ozonesonde Record: Data Homogenization and Uncertainties
Abstract Ensuring the quality and consistency of multidecadal electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesonde records is essential because changes in sonde instrumentation, sensing solutions, operating procedures, and data‐processing methods can introduce biases that compromise their suitability for trend analyses and model/satellite evaluation ...
