Journal ArticleDOI
Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum, 6S: an overview
TL;DR: The 6S code has still limitations; it cannot handle spherical atmosphere and as a result, it cannot be used for limb observations, and the decoupling the authors are using for absorption and scattering effects does not allow to use the code in presence of strong absorption bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of aerosol properties over oceans using the MODIS/EOS spectral radiances
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral radiance of an aerosol with a bilognormal size distribution is simulated with a single lognormal aerosol, with an appropriate mean radius and width of distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of a computer code to simulate the satellite signal in the solar spectrum : the 5S code
Didier Tanré,Christine Deroo,P. Duhaut,Maurice Herman,J. J. Morcrette,J. Perbos,Pierre-Yves Deschamps +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer code (acronym 5S) is developed that allows estimation of the solar radiation backscattered by the Earth-surface-atmosphere system, as it is observed by a satellite sensor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistically optimized inversion algorithm for enhanced retrieval of aerosol properties from spectral multi-angle polarimetric satellite observations
Oleg Dubovik,Maurice Herman,A. Holdak,Tatyana Lapyonok,Didier Tanré,Jean-Luc Deuzé,Fabrice Ducos,Aliaksandr Sinyuk,Anton Lopatin +8 more
TL;DR: An attempt to enhance aerosol retrieval by emphasizing statistical optimization in inversion of advanced satellite observations to provide satellite retrieval of higher consistency, because the retrieval over each single pixel will be benefiting from coincident aerosol information from neighboring pixels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of aerosols over land surfaces from POLDER-ADEOS-1 polarized measurements
Jean-Luc Deuzé,François-Marie Bréon,C. Devaux,Philippe Goloub,Maurice Herman,Bruno Lafrance,Fabienne Maignan,A. Marchand,F. Nadal,G. Perry,Didier Tanré +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an aerosol index defined as the product AI = δα 0 is proposed for remote sensing of aerosols over land surfaces, which can systematically correct for the ground contribution whereas the classical approach using natural light fails.
