Data Product: REFLECTIVITY
The solar irradiance reflected up to a spacecraft
from the surface of the Earth can be used to calculate reflectivity.
Reflectivity calculated for specific bandwidths is needed for
the calculation of total column ozone from the TOMS and OMI instruments.
Reflected radiation can come from two surfaces, the ground, and the tops
of clouds. Reflectivity is determined from the measurements at
380 nm, or 360 nm in the case of Earth Probe. Clouds are clearly
defined and recognizable in images produced using TOMS and OMI
reflectivity data.
We organize our data and image products by the dates a specific
spacecraft returned data. Select from the buttons below to get
images and data for the dates of interest.
