Polarimetry is one of the most promising types remote sensing for improved characterization atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly variable component characterized by large number parameters describing particle sizes, morphologies (including shape and internal structure), absorption scattering properties, amounts, horizontal vertical distribution, etc. Reliable monitoring all these very challenging, therefore effects on climate environment are considered to be...

As the successors of overdue HuanjingJianzai-1 (HJ-1) satellites and new members in Chinese Environmental Protection Disaster Monitoring Satellite Constellation, first two HuanjingJianZai-2 series (HJ-2 A/B) have been launched on September 27, 2020. Each satellite carries four sensors, including Polarized Scanning Atmospheric Corrector (PSAC), charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, hyperspectral imager (HSI) infrared spectroradiometer (IRS). Among them, PSAC is mainly used for monitoring...

Himawari-8 (H8), as a geostationary satellite, observing the full disk image of earth per 10 min, is very powerful tool to investigate atmospheric aerosol temporal variations. The advanced himawari imager (AHI) onboard H8 has several spectral bands similar with those Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Aerosol optical depth (AOD) thus possible be retrieved from AHI data using dark target (DT) method MODIS. Based on statistics study infrared these two satellite instruments,...

Abstract While polarimetric measurements contain valuable information regarding aerosol microphysical properties, polarization data in the near‐infrared (NIR) bands have not been widely utilized. This paper evaluates whether property contents from single‐viewing satellite at 1,610 and 2,250 nm can be used to improve retrieval of parameters over vegetated land, combination with shorter‐wavelength (490, 670, 870 nm). The a priori errors for analysis are derived by assuming that surface...

The fine-mode fraction (FMF) of aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a key parameter that represents the proportion fine particles relative to total aerosols in atmosphere. However, comparison ground-based measurements, FMF still difficult retrieve from satellite observations, as attempted by Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) algorithm. In this paper, we introduce retrieval based on Polarization and Anisotropy Reflectances for Atmospheric Science coupled with Observations Lidar...

The optimal scheduling of multi-energy hub systems plays an important role in the safety, stability, and economic operation system. However, due to strong uncertainty renewable energy access, serious coupling, interaction among hubs systems, it is difficult for traditional method solve these problems. Therefore, game theory was used problem systems. According internal connection mode conversion relationship hubs, along with competitive cooperative between theoretic model system established....
