Development of an Aerosol Opacity Retrieval Algorithm for Use with Multi-Angle Land Surface Images

In 1998, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) will fly aboard the EOS-AM1 spacecraft. MISR will enable unique methods for retrieving the properties of atmospheric aerosols, by providing global imagery of the Earth at nine viewing angles in four visible and near-IR spectral bands. As part of the MISR algorithm development, theoretical methods of analyzing multi-angle, multi-spectral data are being tested using images acquired by the airborne Advanced Solid-State Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS). In this paper we derive a method to be used over land surfaces for retrieving the change in opacity between spectral bands, which can then be used in conjunction with an aerosol model to derive a bound on absolute opacity.

Synergism requirements and concepts for SAR and HIRIS on EOS

A study is conducted to ascertain the synergistic advantages obtainable by combining, in the EOS orbital instrument platform, instruments for the optical and microwave measurements of biophysical properties important in ecosystem modeling. Attention is given to the comparative coverages of the SAR, HIRIS, TIMS and MODIS instruments that will be carried by the platform, and to the ongoing development of joint inversion algorithms for the modeling of the ecosystems-related data thus obtained. A three-dimensional characterization of the physical attributes of the vegetation canopy and its background surface will be attempted.
