Cloud Optical Thickness & Effective Radius for Greenland August 21, 2005 —
A new algorithm has been implemented for determining the uncertainty of cloud optical thickness and effective radius of liquid water and ice clouds using MODIS data. This algorithm, which estimates the uncertainty of cloud optical properties under the ass . . . [continued]
Distinguishing anthropogenic aerosol in the MODIS Data August 14, 2005 —
Satellite instruments cannot directly measure the aerosol chemical composition which is needed to discriminate man-made or anthropogenic aerosols (smoke or air pollution) from natural aerosols (dust or sea salt). However the MODIS satellite's ability to d . . . [continued]
