Cloud and aerosol observations from DSCOVR satellite
View through CrossRef
Earth sensors NIST Advanced Radiometer (NISTAR) and Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) measure outgoing radiative fluxes of the entire sunlit Earth and key spectral characteristics at 10 km resolution, respectively.  The unique near backscatter angular perspective of DSCOVR is used to measure ozone, sulfur dioxide, aerosols, clouds, ocean surface photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), vegetation, sun glints, and to obtain UV radiation estimates.  In the presentation I will focus on clouds and aerosol EPIC products: cloud mask, cloud height and optical thickness, aerosol optical depth and aerosol height, single scattering albedo, their correlation and daytime variability.
