PACE validation of UV Aerosol Absorption Properties

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/OB.DAAC;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/SeaBASS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 25, 2026 at 01:35 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
Three Modified Yankee Multi-Filtered Rotating Shadow Band Spectrometers (M-MFRSR) will be deployed at three locations to measure UV aerosol absorption properties at 340nm and 380 nm. Aerosol parameters to be derived are single scattering albedo (SSA) and Aerosol Absorption Optical Depth (AAOD). Instruments will be deployed at operational Aerosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) sites. AERONET derived information on aerosol optical depth (AOD), surface albedo, and particle size distribution (PSD) will be used as input to the inversion of M-MFRSR total (direct plus diffuse), diffuse, and direct (total \u00e2\u0080\u0093 diffuse) multi-spectral planar irradiance measurements.
