Aerosol Parameter Retrievals in the Korea - Sea of Japan Coastal Region.

摘要

My long term goal is to understand the relationships of surface and remote optical measurements to the assessment of local and regional atmospheric transmission in optical wavelengths. This effort was planned to install and evaluate a new component of the NASA global sun photometer network (AERONET) in Chinhae, Republic of Korea in April and May 1999. The NRL effort collaborated with NASA GSFC in installation instrumentation, and comparison of preliminary output to surface measurements taken in Korea and other locations as available. . The purpose of the measurements is to investigate the use of the AERONET CIMEL sun photometer to retrieve air mass parameter information required as input into optical prediction models such as the Electro-Optical Tactical Decision Aid (EOTDA) and its follow-on the Target Acquisition Weather Software (TAWS).
