Advanced signal processing techniques for the analysis of solar radiometer data in the presence of temporally varying aerosol optical depths
… which are used for remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols and absorbing gases, have traditionally been calibrated by the Langley method. Temporally variable conditions, however, can significantly bias the zero-airmass intercepts obtained by this method. In this dissertation, a number of new signal …

Spatio-temporal variability of aerosols in the tropics relationship with atmospheric and oceanic environments
… radiation budget is directly influenced by aerosols through the absorption of solar radiation and subsequent heating of the atmosphere. Aerosols modulate the hydrological cycle indirectly by modifying cloud properties, precipitation and ocean heat storage. In addition, polluting aerosols …

Characterization of the physical, chemical, and optical properties of atmospheric aerosol particles in New Hampshire
<p>Tropospheric aerosol particles directly affect the radiative budget of the Earth, and degrade visibility, by scattering and absorbing short-wavelength solar radiation. However, the radiative effect of aerosols is highly uncertain due to the non-uniform spatial distribution of the particles over …

Characterizing the influence of anthropogenic emissions and transport variability on sulfate aerosol concentrations at Mauna Loa Observatory
Sulfate aerosol in the atmosphere has substantial impacts on human health and environmental quality. Most notably, atmospheric sulfate has the potential to modify the earth's climate system through both direct and indirect radiative forcing mechanisms (Meehl et al., 2007). Emissions of sulfur …
