More than 2 decades ago, aerosol remote sensing underwent a revolution with the launch of
the Terra and Aqua satellites. Advancement continued via additional launches carrying new …

Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is a measure of the extinction of solar radiation by aerosols in
the atmosphere. Understanding the variations of global AOD is necessary for precisely …

Notable warming trends have been observed in the Arctic, with tropospheric aerosols being
one of the key drivers. Here the seasonal cycles of three-dimensional (3D) distributions of …

The lack of aerosol information over the cryosphere introduces large uncertainties to our
understanding of phenomenon, known as the Arctic Amplification (AA) and its feedback …

A critical comprehension of the impact of snow cover on urban bidirectional reflectance is
pivotal for precise assessments of energy budgets, radiative forcing, and urban climate …

Currently, no aerosol optical thickness (AOT) data set over the Arctic snow/ice-covered
regions derived from space-borne passive remote sensing is available. The challenge is to …

In this study, more accurate information on the levels of aerosol optical depth (AOD) was
calculated from the assimilation of the modeled AOD based on the optimal interpolation …

More than two decades ago, aerosol remote sensing underwent a revolution with the launch
of the Terra and Aqua satellites. Advancement continued via additional launches carrying …

In this chapter remote sensing techniques as applied to studies of Arctic aerosol are
surveyed. They include the analysis of ground and shipborne observations of atmospheric …

The problem of global environmental change is the subject of global ecoinformatics in the
context of which information technologies have been developed to ensure the combined use …
