Broadband Radiative Quantities for the EarthCARE Mission: The ACM-COM and ACM-RT Products
Abstract
The EarthCARE satellite mission’s objective is to retrieve profiles of aerosol and water cloud physical properties from measurements made by its cloud-profiling radar, backscattering lidar, and passive multi-spectral spectral imager (MSI). These retrievals, together with other geophysical properties, are input into broadband (BB) radiative transfer (RT) models that predict radiances, and fluxes, commensurate with measurements made, and inferred …
