TL;DR: The US Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program's Carbonaceous Aerosol and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) carried out in June 2010 in Central Valley, California, was a comprehensive effort designed to improve the understanding of the possible interactions between urban and natural emissions in the production and transformation of atmospheric aerosol and the resulting impact on climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of fine-mode aerosol retrieval capabilities by different passive remote sensing instrument designs
Kirk Knobelspiesse,Brian Cairns,Michael I. Mishchenko,Jacek Chowdhary,Kostas Tsigaridis,Bastiaan van Diedenhoven,William Gk Martin,M. Ottaviani,Mikhail D. Alexandrov +8 more
TL;DR: This work uses realistic simulations of fine size mode dominated spherical aerosols to investigate three instrument designs and shows fundamental differences between them, and offers suggestions for future instrument design and the optimal retrieval strategy for current instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of Multiangle, Multispectral Polarimetric Remote Sensing Over Open Oceans to Water-Leaving Radiance: Analyses of RSP Data Acquired During the MILAGRO Campaign
Jacek Chowdhary,Jacek Chowdhary,Brian Cairns,Brian Cairns,Fabien Waquet,Kirk Knobelspiesse,Kirk Knobelspiesse,M. Ottaviani,Jens Redemann,Larry D. Travis,Michael I. Mishchenko +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hydrosol model for multispectral observations of polarized reflectance over ocean has been developed for use in underwater light scattering computations that produces realistic variations of the ocean color and the underwater light polarization signature of pure sea water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Atmosphere-Ocean Radiative Transfer: A PACE Mission Perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the research frontiers on radiative transfer (RT) in coupled atmosphere-atmosphere systems to enable new science and specifically to support simulations and interpretations of remote sensing observations from the upcoming Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
