Livingston et al. EGU General Assembly April 2007 Summary/Conclusions 1)AATS-14 MILAGRO/INTEX-B data set is very mature and the latest version is archived; future changes will likely affect only singular data points at high altitude; would require fine-combing by hand. 2)Validation of MODIS (-Terra & -Aqua) AOD well underway: major finding is exceptionally good agreement with AATS and appreciable AOD at SWIR. 3)For AATS/OMI coincidences, archived OMI near-UV AODs and preliminary OMI MW AODs exceed AATS AODs, but these cases need to be examined in more detail. Differences may be due to cloud contamination over water or to the surface albedo assumed by the OMI retrieval algorithms over land. Analysis of coincident measurements by other J31 sensors (SSFR, RSP, and CAR) should provide additional information on surface spectral albedo and BRDF. 4)AATS, MODIS, and MISR over-water AOD spectra have been compared for a Terra overpass: near IR AODs agree within uncertainties in all 3 MISR grid cells; in the visible, MISR AODs agree with AATS and MODIS values in 2 of 3 co- located MISR cells. 5)Collaboration between AATS and other J-31 sensors is in its initial phase.
