The comparison of MODIS-Aqua (C5) and CALIOP (V2 & V3) aerosol optical depth

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

The improved performance of MODIS Collection 005 with respect to Collection 004 in terms of comparison against AERONET, as well as the gen- eral decrease of AOD values over the

C.: Improvement of aerosol optical depth retrieval from MODIS spectral reflectance over the global ocean using new aerosol models archived from AERONET inversion data and

For the moderately dense Sa- hara dust layers detected in the CALIOP data used in this study, the mean/median values of the lidar ratios derived from a constrained opaque water

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

In this paper, numerous key uncertain factors in the retrieval of aerosol optical depth (AOD) are articulated for some widely used and relatively long satellite aerosol

sors, including MODIS (on Terra and Aqua), MISR, OMI, POLDER, CALIOP, and SeaWiFS – altogether, a total of 11 different aerosol products – were comparatively analyzed us- ing
