Toth, Matthew Christensen 1, and Xiaodong Zhang 3 1 University of North Dakota, Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences 2 Naval Research Laboratory, Marine Meteorology Division 3 University of North Dakota, Dept. of Earth System Science Issues impacting the study of long-term aerosol forcing trends

Goals and Objectives in the First Research Year Goal: Examine decadal trends in Terra and Aqua’s AOT and radiative forcing products from MODIS and CERES by accounting for uncertainties and biases in the next generation of aerosol products. Objectives of Year 1: (1)Expand the investigation of aerosol trends to the vertical coordinate. (2)Study temporal variation of above-cloud aerosol events (3)Further explore the Southern Oceans aerosol anomaly, through studying of subsurface oceanic bubbles (4)Develop trend-quality aerosol products (5)Explore use of nighttime aerosol retrievals jointly with VIIRS

Area 1: For regions with significant AOT trends, identify the sources of the trends in the vertical - Is there a consistent story? Collocated MODIS and CALIOP ( ) Mean AOT (550 nm) Temporal variation  AOT/yr Spatial distributions of layer AOT in vertical MODIS CALIOP Toth et al., 2015 (submitted) Day km Day km Day >2 km Day 1-2 km Night km Night km Night >2 km Night 1-2 km

Area 2: Investigate the climatology of aerosol above cloud aerosol events Alfaro-Contreras et al., 2015, submitted

Area 2: Investigate Aerosol Climatology for Above-Cloud Aerosol Events Alfaro-Contreras et al., 2015, submitted

Area 3: Bubble Investigation of the Enhanced Southern Ocean Aerosol Anomaly (ESOA) 2006 C5 Aqua MODIS DT MISR GACP CALIOP C5 Aqua MODIS DA SeaWiFS DB AVHRR MAN AOT Toth et al., 2013

ESOA can’t be fully explained by cloud contamination… Sub-surface bubble contribution? Subsurface bubbles Whitecaps are simply air bubbles on the surface. However, they have significantly different lifetime: minutes to hours for subsurface bubbles vs seconds for whitecaps (e.g. Johnson and Cooke, 1981). Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs): 6S atmospheric RTM. HydroLight oceanic RTM. Ocean bubble data: Ocean bubble phase function is adopted from Zhang et al. (2002). Ocean bubble concentrations are obtained from Zhang (2001) and Zhang and Lewis (2002), denoted default bubble concentration. Christensen et al., 2015, accepted nd_a_ferry.jpg

Can’t be fully explained by cloud contamination… Sub-surface bubbles? The difference in surface reflectance (  R/π) with and without consideration of oceanic bubbles are plotted as functions of wavelength and near- surface wind speed Subsurface bubbles are not the cause of ESOA Subsurface bubbles may not be important for AOT, but it has been show its importance for TOA energy and ocean color retrievals Christensen et al., 2015, accepted Yearly mean MODIS AOD AOD Correction (default bubble)

Area 4: Working Toward Trend-Quality MODIS Aerosol Data though Rigorous QA Our Quality-Assured C5 MODIS aerosol products are accessible through the GODAE server Terra C6 just completed! Working towards constructing trend-quality C6 MODIS aerosol products (DT+DB) following Shi et al., 2011; 2014 C5 C ◦ S, ◦ W (DT) DT/MISR AOD DB/MISR AOD

Area 4: Working Toward Trend-Quality QA MODIS aerosol data (cont…) Validated using AERONET data, cloud contamination, as well as biases related to aerosol microphysical properties and near- ocean surface wind speeds are reduced when comparing with C5 MODIS DT over- ocean aerosol products. The ESOA feature is also greatly reduced in the c6 MODIS aerosol products. Our study suggests that cloud contamination still exists and is observable in the C6 dataset. By applying data screening and empirical correction steps similar as used in constructing the C5 version of the DA-quality product, our preliminary results show a further reduction of uncertainties in AOD by 17%, and the outliers by 20%. QAed C6-DT

Area 5: Nighttime Aerosol Retrievals are Limited. Can VIIRS Fill the Observational Gap? Cape Verde, clear versus dusty skies Reliable nighttime measurements of aerosol optical properties, such as optical depth (τ,) are needed for both climate studies and aerosol modeling efforts (e.g., Zhang et al. 2003, 2008). Recently-launched Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) includes a calibrated Day/Night Band (DNB) that can be used to observe nocturnal anthropogenic sources of radiation (e.g., city lights). This study presents a new method that uses the statistical variance of pixels within a given artificial light source. See the poster section for details Clear Dusty Theodore et al., 2015, submitted HSRL AOD (0.532 µm) AERONET AOD (0.532 µm) VIIRS AOD (0.532 µm) VIIRS DNB and AERONET AOD vs. HSRL AOD (Huntsville)

Conclusions and Plans for Year 2 The significant positive daytime regional AOT trends over India and the Middle East are contributed to the most from the near-surface (0-0.5km) and an elevated layer (1-2km), respectively. Positive temporal variation is also observed from the two regions for above-cloud AOT. While working on understanding uncertainties in C5 and C6 MODIS aerosol products, we have evaluated the impacts of subsurface bubbles on the ESOA phenomenon. This study suggests that submerged bubbles are not the primary cause for ESOA. That being said, submerged bubbles have been shown their importance for TOA energy and ocean color retrievals. For the coming year, emphasis will be given to: (1)Development of trend-grade aerosol datasets (DT+DB). (2)Start looking at MAIAC data (3)Although not shown, we have been working towards aerosol forcing trend analysis through a multi-sensor based approach (including MODIS and CERES).
