| Zusammenfassung |
| Global and local properties of atmospheric aerosols have been extensively
observed and measured using both spaceborne and ground-based instruments,
especially during the last decade. Unique properties retrieved by the
different instruments contribute to an unprecedented availability of the
most complete set of complimentary aerosol measurements ever acquired.
However, some of these measurements remain underutilized, largely due to the
complexities involved in analyzing them synergistically. To characterize the
inconsistencies and bridge the gap that exists between the sensors, we have
established a Multi-sensor Aerosol Products Sampling System (MAPSS), which
consistently samples and generates the spatial statistics (mean, standard
deviation, direction and rate of spatial variation, and spatial correlation
coefficient) of aerosol products from multiple spaceborne sensors, including
MODIS (on Terra and Aqua), MISR, OMI, POLDER, CALIOP, and SeaWiFS. Samples
of satellite aerosol products are extracted over Aerosol Robotic Network
(AERONET) locations as well as over other locations of interest such as
those with available ground-based aerosol observations. In this way, MAPSS
enables a direct cross-characterization and data integration between Level-2
aerosol observations from multiple sensors. In addition, the available
well-characterized co-located ground-based data provides the basis for the
integrated validation of these products. This paper explains the sampling
methodology and concepts used in MAPSS, and demonstrates specific examples
of using MAPSS for an integrated analysis of multiple
aerosol products. |
