About the Book

Several significant accomplishments were made during the present reporting period. We have completed our basic study of using the 1.38 micron MODIS band for removal of the effects of thin cirrus clouds and stratospheric aerosol. The results suggest that it should be possible to correct imagery for thin cirrus clouds with optical thicknesses as large as 0.5 to 1.0. We have also acquired reflectance data for oceanic whitecaps during a cruise on the RV Malcolm Baldrige in the Gulf of Mexico. The reflectance spectrum of whitecaps was found to be similar to that for breaking waves in the surf zone measured by Frouin, Schwindling and Deschamps. We installed a CIMEL sun photometer at Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas off Key West in the Gulf of Mexico. The instrument has yielded a continuous stream of data since February. It shows that the aerosol optical thickness at 669 nm is often less than 0.1 in winter. This suggests that the Southern Gulf of Mexico will be an excellent winter site for vicarious calibration. In addition, we completed a study of the effect of vicarious calibration, i.e., the accuracy with which the radiance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) can be predicted from measurement of the sky radiance at the bottom of the atmosphere (BOA). The results suggest that the neglect of polarization in the aerosol optical property inversion algorithm and in the prediction code for the TOA radiances is the largest error associated with the radiative transfer process. Overall, the study showed that the accuracy of the TOA radiance prediction is now limited by the racliometric calibration error in the sky radiometer. Finally, considerable coccolith light scattering data were obtained in the Gulf of Maine with a flow-through instrument, along with data relating to calcite concentration and the rate of calcite production.
