Characterization of Aerosols and Atmospheric Parameters from Space-borne and Surface-based Remote Sensing
Abstract
The long-term goal for this project is threefold: (i) to develop remote sensing procedures for determining aerosol loading and optical properties over land and ocean, (ii) to use these properties for atmospheric corrections over coastal regions, and (iii) to assess what combination of hyperspectral information can lead to the best results. In preparation for the era of hyperspectral sensors in remote sensing, we need to establish a climatology of aerosol properties and of spectral reflectance for land, ocean and coastal regions. These specific features will be used to develop aerosol remote sensing capability and in the future corrections of remote sensing data.
