HETEAC – The Hybrid End-To-End Aerosol Classification model for EarthCARE: Look-Up Table (LUT) for aerosol mixtures

Ulla Wandinger, Athena Augusta Floutsi, Holger Baars, Moritz Haarig et autres

The dataset contains the look-up table (LUT) of EarthCARE’s Hybrid End-To-End Aerosol Classification (HETEAC) model. The LUT contains optical and radiative parameters for four pure aerosol components (fine mode weakly absorbing, fine mode strongly absorbing, coarse mode spherical and coarse mode non-spherical) …

Contributions and insights into EarthCARE aerosol observations based on passive MSI measurements

Nicole Docter

This thesis summarizes the contributions to aerosol property observations from the passive Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI) of the Earth Cloud, Aerosol, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite mission. It was launched in May 2024 with the goal of improving the understanding of aerosol, cloud …

The k-bin tool: Fast and flexible k-distribution algorithms written in Python

Nils Madenach, René Preusker, Nicole Docter, Lena Jänicke et autres

Radiative transfer simulations (RTS) still face significant challenges in accurately representing the highly complex gas absorption spectra of the Earth’s atmosphere. Line-by-line RTS achieves high accuracy by solving radiative transfer equations for narrow spectral intervals, but at a considerable computational cost. Especially …

Assessment of the spectral misalignment effect (SMILE) on EarthCARE's Multi-Spectral Imager aerosol and cloud property retrievals

Nicole Docter, Anja Hünerbein, David Patrick Donovan, René Preusker et autres

The Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI) on board the Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) will provide horizontal information about aerosols and clouds. These measurements are needed to extend vertical cloud and aerosol property information, which is obtained from EarthCARE's active sensors, in …

An intercomparison of EarthCARE cloud, aerosol, and precipitation retrieval products

Shannon Mason, Howard W. Barker, Jason N. S. Cole, Nicole Docter et autres

The objective of the Earth Cloud, Aerosol, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission is to infer attributes of cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiation from observations made by four complementary instruments. This requires the development of single-instrument and multiple-instrument (i.e. synergistic) retrieval algorithms that …

Cloud top heights and aerosol columnar properties from combined EarthCARE lidar and imager observations: the AM-CTH and AM-ACD products

Moritz Haarig, Anja Hünerbein, Ulla Wandinger, Nicole Docter et autres

The Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) is a combination of multiple active and passive instruments on a single platform. The Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID) provides vertical information of clouds and aerosol particles along the satellite track. In addition, the Multi-Spectral Imager …

Estimation of Aerosol Layer Height from OLCI Measurements in the O2A-Absorption Band over Oceans

Lena Katharina Jänicke, René Preusker, Nicole Docter, Jürgen Fischer

The aerosol layer height (ALH) is an important parameter that characterizes aerosol interaction with the environment. An estimation of the vertical distribution of aerosol is necessary for studies of those interactions, their effect on radiance and for aerosol transport models. ALH can …
