Abstract

Regions of brightness variations are often observed in the visible and near-infrared satellite images of cloud-free, coastal regions. Fett and Isaacs (1979) hypothesized that these brightness variations result from changes in low-level aerosol particles distributions due to relative humidity fluctuations. This hypothesis was tested theoretically by Isaacs (1980) and was found to be plausible. Hindman et al, (1983) found that satellite detected radiance and simultaneously measured particles concentrations show an apparent positive relationship, but that more data are needed to make any firm conclusion.
