Characterization of GOES Aerosol Optical Depth Retrievals during INTEX-AP Campaign

The presentation discusses the near real-time aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from GOES-12 Imager, utilized to aid flight planning during the INTEX-A/NEAQS field campaign in summer 2004. It highlights the variations in GOES AOD across temporal (diurnal, daily, monthly) and spatial (local and regional) scales, revealing that aerosol loading in the US was largely influenced by long-range transport of smoke from Canadian and Alaskan forest fires. Validation against AERONET and airborne measurements indicates an accuracy of ~0.2. It also explores the potential of GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) for future air quality monitoring.

  1. Fourth GOES-R Users’ Conference:Characterization of GOES Aerosol Optical Depth Retrievals during INTEX-APubu Ciren2, Shobha Kondragunta1,Ana Prados3,, and Istvan Laszlo1 • NOAA/NESDIS provided near real time aerosol optical depth (AOD) product derived from GOES-12 Imager to aid in the planning of aircraft/ship flight deployment during INTEX-A/NEAQS field campaign in summer 2004 • GOES AODs variations on different temporal (diurnal, daily, and monthly) and spatial (local and regional) scales show that atmospheric aerosol loading over the US was dominated by long-range transport of smoke from forest fires in Canada/Alaska • Post-mission validation of GOES AODs using AERONET and air-borne (DC-8) measurements show that the accuracy is at ~ 0.2 • Applicability of operational GOES AODs in supporting future field campaigns for air quality monitoring and the potential improvements possible with GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) are discussed
