SeaWiFS Satellite Platform and Sensors
• Satellite maps the world daily in 24 polar swaths
• The 8 sensors are in the transmission windows in the visible & near IR
• Designed for ocean color but also suitable for land color detection, particularly of vegetation
Swath
2300 KM
24/day
Polar Orbit: ~ 1000 km, 100 min.
Equator Crossing: Local NoonChlorophyll Absorption
Designed for Vegetation Detection

Technical Challenge: Characterization
• PM characterization requires many different instruments and analysis tools.
• Each sensor/network covers only a limited fraction of the 8-D PM data space.
• Most of the 8D PM pattern is extrapolated from sparse measured data.
• Some devices (e.g. single particle electron microscopy) measure only a small subset of the PM; the challenge is extrapolation to larger space-time domains.
• Others, like satellites, integrate over height, size, composition, shape, and mixture dimensions; these data need de-convolution of the integral measures.

Summary
• Satellite data have aided the science of Particulate Matter since the 1970s
• Satellite data have supported PM air quality management since the 1990s.
• Past satellite data helped the qualitative description of PM spatial pattern
• Quantitative satellite data use and fusion with surface data is still in infancy
• Satellite data applications will require collaboration across disciplines

Apparent Surface Reflectance, R• The surface reflectance R0 is obscured by aerosol scattering and absorption before it reaches the sensor
• Aerosol acts as a filter of surface reflectance and as a reflector solar radiation
Aerosol as Reflector: Ra = (e-– 1) P
R = (R0 + (e-– 1) P) e-
Aerosol as Filter: Ta = e-
Surface reflectance R0
• The apparent reflectance , R, detected by the sensor is: R = (R0 + Ra) Ta
• Under cloud-free conditions, the sensor receives the reflected radiation from surface and aerosols
• Both surface and aerosol signal varies independently in time and space
• Challenge: Separate the total received radiation into surface and aerosol components
