Cloud drop condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) particles determine to a large
extent cloud microstructure and, consequently, cloud albedo and the dynamic response of …

We use the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) sensor on the Nimbus 7 satellite to
map the global distribution of major atmospheric dust sources with the goal of identifying …

Retrieving aerosol properties from satellite remote sensing over a bright surface is a
challenging problem in the research of atmospheric and land applications. In this paper we …

We discuss the theoretical basis of a recently developed technique to characterize aerosols
from space. We show that the interaction between aerosols and the strong molecular …

Global distributions of UV‐absorbing aerosols are obtained using measured differences
between the 340 and the 380 nm radiances from the Nimbus 7 Total Ozone Mapping …

Although it has been known that smoke from biomass burning suppresses warm rain
processes, it was not known to what extent this occurs. The satellite observations of the …

During the ACE-Asia field campaign, unprecedented amounts of aerosol property data in
East Asia during springtime were collected from an array of aircraft, shipboard, and surface …

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements (7 channels: 0.47–
2.1 μm, 250–500 m resolutions) provide us with new insights into the characteristics of …

Meteorological observations, in situ data, and satellite images of dust episodes were used
already in the 1970s to estimate that 100 Tg of dust are transported from Africa over the …

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the Suomi
National Polar‐orbiting Partnership (S‐NPP) spacecraft was launched in October 2011. The …
