Characterization of Atmospheric Mineral Dust from Radiometric and Polarimetric Remote Sensing

Abstract

The overall goal is to improve an understanding of the properties of mineral aerosols and their interactions with visible and IR atmospheric radiation, and to develop the dust optical models needed for new satellite radiometric and polarimetric sensors proposed for the NPOESS and other satellite missions.
