Abstract

NOAA/NESDIS is producing on an experimental basis global data sets of total aerosol optical depth over oceans. These data are derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) measurements aboard NOAA polar orbiting satellites. Effectively, the retrieval algorithm correlates aerosol optical thickness with the radiance from the upwelling Channel 1 (0.58-0.68 μm) as described by Rao et al.1 and Griggs and Stowe2. Regions containing clouds have been filtered out in the aerosol retrieval algorithm.
