Ground-based validation of the EOS Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) aerosol retrieval algorithms and science data products

A plan for the ground-based validation of MISR aerosol retrieval is outlined. Activities occur in two phases: (1) pre-launch, work is focused on technique development and MISR algorithm validation using conventional ground-based methods and a MISR simulator (AirMISR) operating from the ER-2 aircraft...

Zusammenfassung:	A plan for the ground-based validation of MISR aerosol retrieval is outlined. Activities occur in two phases: (1) pre-launch, work is focused on technique development and MISR algorithm validation using conventional ground-based methods and a MISR simulator (AirMISR) operating from the ER-2 aircraft to simulate MISR on-orbit observations. (2) Post-launch, the validation program relies on ground campaigns, underflights with the MISR simulator and the use of local measurements of aerosol loading and properties and irradiance measurements derived from the AERONET and ISIS networks.
