CloudSat is a satellite experiment designed to measure the vertical structure of clouds from space. The expected launch planned for 2004, and once launched, will orbit in formation as part constellation satellites (the A-Train) that includes NASA's Aqua Aura satellites, NASA–CNES lidar (CALIPSO), CNES carrying polarimeter (PARASOL). A unique feature brings this ability fly precise enabling fields view radar be overlapped with CALIPSO footprint other measurements constellation. precision near...
Abstract. The Global Fire Assimilation System (GFASv1.0) calculates biomass burning emissions by assimilating Radiative Power (FRP) observations from the MODIS instruments onboard Terra and Aqua satellites. It corrects for gaps in observations, which are mostly due to cloud cover, filters spurious FRP of volcanoes, gas flares other industrial activity. combustion rate is subsequently calculated with land cover-specific conversion factors. Emission factors 40 gas-phase aerosol trace species...
