Aerosol direct radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere over cloud free ocean derived from four years of MODIS data
A four year record of MODIS spaceborne data provides a new measurement tool to assess the aerosol direct radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere. MODIS derives the aerosol optical thickness and microphysical properties from the scattered sunlight at 0.55–2.1 μm. The monthly MO...
