Non-MeteorologicalAtmosphere Products
• Aerosol• Total Column Ozone• SO2
• Total Column Water Vapour
Total Column Ozone
Applications• Stratospheric dynamics• Air quality
GOES-R Algorithm• Lead by Chris Schmidt (SSEC, Univ of Wisconsin)• Adaption to AHI is underway – complete in ~1 year• Chris Schmidt is willing to collaborate
SO2
Applications• Air quality• Volcanic emissions for aviation safety• Is there a need beyond LEO products?
Algorithms• ???
Aerosol applications
General• Assimilation into Earth System models, and validation
• Near real time• For Air Quality, NWP, Chemical Transport Models (MACC etc)• Provides aerosol amount and properties: anywhere, anytime• Assimilation uses all available inputs with appropriate errors
• Atmospheric correction (surface reflectance)Dust storms
• Air Quality, Erosion proxySmoke
• Air Quality• Initialisation & validation of BoM bushfire smoke dispersion model
(Planning prescribed burns)• Carbon accounting• Effect on fire weather
Aerosol algorithms
• Dense Dark Vegetation (MODIS)• Visible-band surface reflectance from shortwave infrared (SWIR) reflectance
using predetermined spectral relationships.
• Fails over bright surfaces – much of inland Australia
• GOES-R uses this approach
• Deep Blue (MODIS) – Michael Hewson presentation• GEO + LEO (CSIRO for AATSR) – Yi Qin presentation• MAIAC – This presentation
MAIAC Algorithm
MultiAngle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction
• Simultaneously retrieves AOT, surface reflectance, BRDF model• Builds on earlier methods for MODIS, MISR, etc.• Lead by Alexei Lyapustin (NASA/GSFC)
• Operational for MODIS and VIIRS within next year• Applied to DSCOVR/EPIC• Works for GOES-R
• Lyapustin is keen to collaborate to apply to Himawari-8

- Anisotropic surface;
- Retrieval of Spectral Regression Coefficient: Relation of ρblue to ρ2.1 independently for each 1 km2
- Dynamic Land-Water-Snow classification;
- Adaptive and learning system:Store and dynamically update:• clear-sky TOA reflectance;• spectral BRDF;• spatial variability metrics;• brightness temperature and contrasts @1km
- Aerosol Type Discrimination;
- Synergy among water vapour, cloud mask, aerosol and atmospheric correction;

DT MAIAC
Dark target algorithm is biased over urban surfaces; MAIAC is not.
Global aerosol retrievals; low urban bias.
Aerosol Validation Data
AOD validation data fromBureau surface radiation network
• 31 stations, 17 currently open• 240 station-years of data• Aerosol data is being analysed
•
AeroSpanAerosol characterisation via Sun Photometry: Australian Network1997 - 2015
• AeroSpan is operated by CSIRO• Australian component of NASA/AERONET• Range of surface and aerosol types
• Dust (arid zone) • Smoke (tropics)
• Future stations in blue (next 12 months)• Data routinely processed by NASA
• 3-min AOD and 1-hr aerosol microphysics from sky radiance inversions
• Strong collaboration with Bureau in publishing climatologies from both networks
• Ideal for validation of Himawari aerosol and surface products
