The Sensitivity of Multiangle Imaging to Natural Mixes of Aerosols Over Ocean

Multiangle, multispectral remote sensing observations, such as those anticipated from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiomenter (MISR), can significantly improve our ability to constrain aerosol properties based on a generic retrieval approach; top-of-atmosphere radiances were interpreted in terms of a single, average aerosol population having unimodal size distribution and uniform composition.

Co-Operative Mission Concepts Using Biomorphic Explorers

Inspired by the immense variety of naturally curious explorers (insects, animals, and birds), their well integrated biological sensor-processor suites that are efficiently packaged in compact but highly dexterous forms, and their complex, intriguing, cooperative behaviors, this study focuses on Biomorphic Explorers and presents cooperative biomorphic planetary exploration scenarios.

Science Quality Assessment in Support of EOS MISR Data

The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument, scheduled to fly on board the first Earth Observing System (EOS) spacecraft, will have a data stream that produces over 100 GB of data per day, once in full operation, of information about the Earth's atmosphere, clouds, and surface.

Ground-based Validation of the EOS Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Aerosol Retrieval Algorithms and Science Data Products

A plan for the ground-based validation of MISR aerosol retrieval is outlined. Activities occur in two phases: (1) pre-launch, work is focused on technique development and MISR algorithm validation using conventional ground-base methods and a MISR simulator (AirMISR) operating from the ER-2 aircraft to simulate MISR on-orbit observations. (2) Post-launch, the validation program relies on ground campaigns, underflights wit the MISR simulator and the use of local measurements fo aerosol loading and properties and irradiance measurements derived from the AERONET and ISIS networks.
