Improvement of aerosol optical depth retrieval from MODIS spectral reflectance over the global ocean using new aerosol models archived from AERONET inversion data and tri-axial ellipsoidal dust database data

We use satellite observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spec- trometer (MODIS) together with the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model

SBDART-derived heating rate profiles of dominant absorbing aerosol types (dust, pol- luted dust and polluted continental) over Eastern Mediterranean Basin during

The comparison of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from HAC against MODIS shows larger HAC AOD values over regions with higher aerosol loads and smaller HAC AOD values than MODIS for

For period I and III, the consideration of sodium from sea salt aerosol is most important, while accounting for the additional major cations calcium and magnesium from mineral

this study, we take advantage of this well-calibrated set of measurements by applying a newly-developed aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval algorithm over land and ocean

Several possibilities exist for aerosols and clouds to be in- terlinked through processes other than physical aerosol-cloud interactions. One possibility is that
