1. The MODIS Aerosol Algorithm, Products, and ValidationJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences · 2005 · 3,481 citations

   Abstract The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard both NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites is making near-global daily observations of the earth in a wide spectral range (0.41–15 μm). These measurements are used to derive spectral aerosol optical thickness and…

2. Variability of Absorption and Optical Properties of Key Aerosol Types Observed in Worldwide LocationsJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences · 2002 · 3,339 citations

   Aerosol radiative forcing is a critical, though variable and uncertain, component of the global climate.Yet climate models rely on sparse information of the aerosol optical properties.In situ measurements, though important in many respects, seldom provide measurements of the undisturbed aerosol…

3. Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum, 6S: an overviewIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing · 1997 · 3,234 citations

   Remote sensing from satellite or airborne platforms of land or sea surfaces in the visible and near infrared is strongly affected by the presence of the atmosphere along the path from Sun to target (surface) to sensor. This paper presents…
