1 UV Aerosol Product Status and Outlook Omar Torres and Changwoo Ahn OMI Science Team Meeting Outline -Status -Product Assessment OMI-MODIS Comparison OMI-Aeronet Comparison OMI-AATS Comparison -Summary and Conclusions Baltimore, June 6, 2007

2 Status Products: - Aerosol Extinction and Absorption Optical Depth 388 nm -Also reports values at 354 and 500 nm (converted) Validation Analysis -Comparisons to other satellite products (MODIS, MISR) (Ahn, et al, 2007) -Comparison to AERONET observations (Torres et al, 2007) -Comparison to Airborne observations (Livingston et al, 2007) Data availability -Publicly released (L2, L2G)

8 AOD Comparisons, OMI - MODIS - AATS INTEX-B/MILAGRO, 2006 MODIS Aura/OMI overpass ~15 minutes after Aqua at 20:13 UT J31 low altitude transect J31 flight track color coded by altitude MODIS 10x10 km 2 OMI 13x24km 2 True Color Image (Aqua), 10 March, 19:55-20:00 UT (Phil Russell, NASA, AMES)

9 AOD Comparisons, OMI - MODIS - AATS INTEX-B/MILAGRO, 10 March 2006 J31 low altitude transect 19:40-20:01 UT OMI MW MODIS OMI UV 84 43 17 5 1 J31 low altitude transect 19:40-20:01 UT OMI % cloud MODIS % cloud 2 2 Geo-collocation difference in OMI-UV and MW retrievals

10 10 March 2006 (over water) Case 1 OMI MW & UV AOD retrievals exceed MODIS and AATS values. (Prelim) Milagro Airborne AOD measurements vs OMI & MODIS OMI near-UV retrieval quality flags indicate poor retrievals and suggest possible cloud contamination; retrievals yield enhanced AODs

12 MW UV T2 T1 J31 track OMI overpass: 20.11 UT 19 March 2006 (over land) J31 ~450-750 m above surface “Visibility poor; eyes burning in cockpit…” Larger OMI MW AOD retrievals over land likely due to incorrect surface albedo assumption. highest quality AATS AOD: high variability, flat depend. (Prelim) Phil Russell

13 Assessment of OMI-UV Absorption Retrievals during MILAGRO campaign OMI-UV Aerosol Absorption Optical Depth agrees well with AATS Inferred Absorption Optical Depth Spectral on March 19, 2006 (Phil Russell)

14 Comparison of OMI and AERONET Retrievals of Single Scattering Albedo Smoke and Pollution Aerosols RMS: 0.03 Dust Aerosols RMS: 0.02

15 OMI-Aeronet Comparison of Absorption Optical Depth Dust Aerosols RMS: 0.02

16 -Severe sub-pixel cloud contamination affects retrieval of extinction optical depth for weakly absorbing aerosols -Reasonable agreement for absorbing aerosols -In the presence dust-smoke mixtures, OMI AOD’s are over- estimated -In general a bias of about 0.2 ~0.3 is observed with respect to AERONET observations -Reasonable agreement in aerosol absorption parameters (AAOD and SSA) -Reprocessing of Collection 3 data will start in summer-07 -Preliminary analysis indicate that in Collection 3 data the AOD bias will decrease Summary and Conclusions
