Description

As the agency reported it.

John devore/visidyne INC "SAM (sun and aureole measurement) cloud studies in support of EOS CAL/VAL, algorithm refinement, and science studies" a new ground-based sensor named SAM, for sun and aureole measurement, is currently in field test. Initial results indicate that IT can provide precise measurements of cloud optical depth and information on particle size distributions required for improving modis and other satellite-based cloud property retrievals. Validation and refinement, if required, of modis cloud optical depth and microphysical property retrievals will take advantage of CO-collects of datasets in much the same way that aeronet measurements have been successfully used to validate aerosol retrievals using avhrr (NOAA-14) and virs (CERES-SSF4) data. CO-collects will take advantage of field observation programs currently planned, e.g., clasic, as well as others in planning, to leverage other assets making cloud measurements. A number of CO-collects will be made for close overpasses of cloudsat for comparison with cloud property retrievals using the cloud profiling radar. In addition, CO-collects involving SAM and aeronet will be employed to study the effects of aerosols on the formation of cumulus clouds.
