1 Intercomparison of satellite retrieved aerosol optical depth over ocean
G. Myhre, F. Stordal, M. Johnsrud, A. Ignatov, M.I. Mishchenko, I.V. Geogdzhayev, D. Tanré, J.L. Deuzé, P. Goloub, T. Nakajima, A. Higurashi, O. Torres, B.N. Holben, N.G. Loeb, S. Bailey, G. Feldman, T. Holzer-Popp, M. Schroedter MODIS and MISR data have been downloaded from their web sites. We acknowledge the effort of the two teams Compared 10 satellite retrievals over 3 time periods Main focus on a 40 months period from September 1997 to December 2000. Comparisons made for monthly mean data Two AVHRR retrievals, POLDER, OCTS, TOMS, SeaWiFS, VIRS, GOME/ATSR-2, MODIS, MISR

2 8-months period, Nov 96 – Jun 97

4 Where are the uncertainties largest?
Myhre et al., JAS, 2003, in press

5 40 months period Averaged AOD (550 nm) over ocean for the period Sep 97-Dec 00. Maximum AOD is 0.72, 1.00, 0.28, and 1.68, respectively for AVHRR-1, AVHRR-2, SeaWiFS, and TOMS.

6 Monthly mean AOD during the 40 months period

7 AOD for 11 oceanic regions

8 Spatial correlation between various satellite retrievals for 11 oceanic regions

9 Comparison with AERONET data
Alot of data available Generally satellite retrievals compare well with AERONET data No obvious retrieval perform better/worse compared to the AERONET data

11 SCATTER PLOT, SATELLITE RETRIEVALS VS AERONET

12 AOD comparison in events of high AOD or aerosol campaigns

13 Global land and ocean Global land Global ocean

14 Monthly mean AOD over ocean for 9 near coastal regions

15 Modis 2001 annual mean AOD Modelled 1996 annual mean AOD

16 Summary Compared 10 satellite retrievals over ocean during 3 time periods Over ocean the satellite retrievals compare best in coastal regions Generally at least a factor of two differences Largest uncertainties over ocean in the southern hemisphere at high latitudes Some retrievals has upper limits in AOD, which clearly leads to underestimation of AOD for some location and time periods Compared to AERONET observations the satellite retrievals generally underestimate large AOD, no large difference in size, and region
