Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperspectral Earth Observation from IASI: Five Years of Accomplishments

TL;DR: The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) as discussed by the authors is the main sounding component of EUMETSAT's Metop-A satellite, which was launched in October 2006.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Aerosols on Cloud Albedo: Evaluation of Twomey's Parameterization of Cloud Susceptibility Using Measurements of Ship Tracks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from the Meteorological Research Flight's Hercules C-130 and the University of Washington's Convair C-131A during the Monterey Area Ship Track field project to evaluate Twomey's analytic expression for cloud susceptibility, which describes the sensitivity of cloud albedo to changes in droplet concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical properties and direct radiative effect of Saharan dust: A case study of two Saharan dust outbreaks using aircraft data

TL;DR: In situ measurements with the nephelometer and particle soot absorption photometer suggest that the single scattering albedo is approximately 0.87 at a wavelength of 0.55 Ixm, which is in agreement with the optical parameters calculated from independent measurements of the particle size distributions combined with suitable refractive indices and Mie-scattering theory as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiative properties and direct effect of Saharan dust measured by the C‐130 aircraft during Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE): 2. Terrestrial spectrum

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a strong dust outbreak on radiance and brightness temperatures is quantified using in situ measurements of terrestrial radiation from the C-130 aircraft during the Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE).
