Hawaii, Honolulu, HI Satellite Validation Aerosol Radiative Forcing Efficiency Aerosol Radiative Forcing Efficiency Comparison of Coincident AATS-14, MODIS, and MISR AOD Retrievals for 22 July Terra Overflight AATS-14 measurements were acquired during a near-surface J31 transect coincident in time and space with a Terra overflight on 22 July. AATS-14 AODs represent mean values along the low altitude flight segment, and vertical bars depict the spread (no horizontal ticks), the standard deviation (wide ticks), and the measurement and retrieval uncertainty (narrow ticks). Corresponding vertical bars on the MODIS and MISR AOD values reflect the expected uncertainties in those retrievals. MISR Version 15 and Version 16 AOD retrievals are shown. No AOD contributions from the boundary layer below the aircraft altitude (~0.09 km) have been added to the AATS-14 AOD values. Example Conversion to 24-hr averages nm net flux change for 10 ICARTT cases, assuming ssa=0.9-1, g= Summary In INTEX/ITCT, we observed a total of 16 horizontal AOD gradients, with 10 gradients well suited for our analysis because of the small changes in solar zenith angle during the gradient measurements. More than half of the AOD gradients (at a wavelength of 499 nm) were greater than 0.1 and extended over distances less than 40 km. Within the 10 case studies we found a high variability in the derived instantaneous aerosol forcing efficiencies (forcing per unit optical depth) for the visible wavelength range ( nm), with a mean of -79.6Wm -2 and a standard deviation of 21.8Wm -2 (27%). The mean instantaneous forcing efficiency for the visible plus near-IR wavelength range ( nm, not shown here) was derived to be ‑ 135.3Wm -2 with a standard deviation of 36.0Wm -2 (27%). An analytical conversion of the instantaneous forcing efficiencies to 24h-average values yielded -45.8±13.1Wm -2 (mean±std) for the visible and -82.9±23.1Wm -2 (mean±std) for the visible plus near-IR wavelength range, respectively. Absolute (left panel) and relative (right panel) spectral aerosol radiative forcing efficiency for the 21 July 2004 case (see above). Relative forcing efficiency is derived by normalizing by the incident solar irradiance and serves to remove the influence of the distribution solar radiation. Note that outside of the gas (primarily water) absorbing bands the relative forcing efficiency is a smooth and monotonic function of wavelength as expected from aerosol extinction. Changes in SSFR band-integrated downwelling flux as a function of AATS-14 derived aerosol optical depth for the J31 flight of 21 July 2004; slope yields the direct aerosol forcing efficiency (defined per unit AOD). Note that approximately 60% of the change in irradiance over the entire band comes from the visible portion of the spectrum where water vapor absorption is negligible. [/Redemann et. al.,/ 2005] Radiative fluxes (narrowband and broadband, net and downwelling) plotted vs. midvisible AOD, all as measured when underflying an AOD gradient on 21 July Methodology The combination of coincident and simultaneous AATS and SSFR measurements yields plots of net spectral irradiance as a function of aerosol optical depth as measured along horizontal flight legs (gradient plots). From the slope of these plots we determine the change in net radiative flux per change in aerosol optical depth, dF /dAOD, or aerosol radiative forcing efficiency [W m -2 AOD -1 ]. This manner of deriving forcing efficiency is called the aerosol gradient method. Unlike ground-based measurements of direct aerosol radiative forcing which rely upon the advection of varous air masses over a measurement site during an extended period of time, the airborne method has the advantage of being quasi instantaneous. Step-by-step: 1. Measure simultaneous change in spectral aerosol optical depth (AATS-14) and spectral net irradiance (SSFR) across AOD gradient. 2. Slope of the regression of F net vs. AOD yields  F net /  AOD = aerosol radiative forcing efficiency 3. This constitutes an observationally-based estimate of aerosol radiative effects. 4. Advantage over ground-based methods = quasi-instantaneous, because of short horizontal distances. 5. Need to consider (and correct for) effects of changing solar zenith angle and changing column water vapor contents during low-level leg.

RV Ron Brown as seen from J31 flyby at 200 ft altitude, 17 July 2004 * Measured water-leaving irradiance in Gulf of NH shows water to be very "black", i.e., relatively low levels of chlorophyll-A. * Sea surface spectral albedo/water- leaving irradiance needs to be adapted for use with MISR data for constraining low level AOT algorithms; convert to water-leaving radiance via BRDF. Comparisons like those to the left, supplemented by results from the U. Hawaii HiGEAR in situ package on the DC-8, are being used to evaluate MISR research retrievals and the ability to retrieve aerosol intensive properties.
