A reanalysis of MODIS fine mode fraction over ocean using OMI and daily GOCART simulations [PDF]
Using daily Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model simulations and columnar retrievals of 0.55 μm aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and fine mode fraction (FMF) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), we ...

Sensoramiento remoto del NO2 y uso de suelo en el distrito de Pampas
El dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) es un contaminante, producto del parque automotor por lo que puede transformarse en ozono troposférico y es uno de los causantes de enfermedades respiratorias.

Saharan dust detection using multi-sensor satellite measurements
Contemporary scientists have vested interest in trying to understand the climatology of the North Atlantic Basin since this region is considered as the genesis for hurricane formation that eventually get shipped to the tropical Atlantic region and the ...

Detection of anomalies in the UV–vis reflectances from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument [PDF]
Various instrumental or geophysical artifacts, such as saturation, stray light or obstruction of light (either coming from the instrument or related to solar eclipses), negatively impact satellite measured ultraviolet and visible Earthshine radiance ...

Investigating the frequency and interannual variability in global above-cloud aerosol characteristics with CALIOP and OMI [PDF]
Seven and a half years (June 2006 to November 2013) of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) aerosol and cloud layer products are compared with collocated Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aerosol index (AI) data and Aqua Moderate ...

Validation of urban NO 2 concentrations and their diurnal and seasonal variations observed from the SCIAMACHY and OMI sensors using in situ surface measurements in Israeli cities [PDF]
Abstract. We compare a full-year (2006) record of surface air NO2 concentrations measured in Israeli cities to coinciding retrievals of tropospheric NO2 columns from satellite sensors (SCIAMACHY aboard ENVISAT and OMI aboard Aura). This provides a large statistical data set for validation of NO2 satellite measurements in urban air, where validation is ...
