ABSTRACT

Mishchenko et al. 2005

Mishchenko, M.I., B. Cairns, J. Chowdhary, I.V. Geogdzhayev, L. Liu, and L.D. Travis, 2005: Remote sensing of terrestrial tropospheric aerosols from aircraft and satellites. J. Phys. Conf. Series, 6, 73-89, doi:10.1088/1742-6596/6/1/005.

This review paper outlines the rationale for long-term monitoring of the global distribution of natural and anthropogenic aerosols and clouds with specificity, accuracy, and coverage necessary for a reliable quantification of the direct and indirect aerosol effects on climate. We discuss the hierarchy of passive instruments suitable for aerosol remote sensing and give examples of aerosol retrirepresenting the low and the high end of this hierarchy.
