| Zusammenfassung |
| Aerosol absorption is poorly quantified because of the lack of adequate
measurements. It has been shown that the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)
aboard EOS-Aura and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
aboard EOS-Aqua, which fly in formation as part of the A-train, provide an
excellent opportunity to improve the accuracy of aerosol retrievals. Here, we
follow a multi-satellite approach to estimate the regional distribution of
aerosol absorption over continental India for the first time. Annually and
regionally averaged aerosol single-scattering albedo over the Indian landmass
is estimated as 0.94 ± 0.03. Our study demonstrates the potential of
multi-satellite data analysis to improve the accuracy of retrieval of aerosol
absorption over land. |
