description: Observations of the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments aboard Terra and Aqua satellites are being used extensively for applications to climate and air quality studies. Data quality is essential for these studies. Here we investigate the effects of unresolved clouds on the MODIS measurements of the AOT. The main cloud effect is from residual cirrus that increases the AOT by 0.015/spl plusmn/0.003 at 0.55 /spl mu/m. In addition, lower level clouds can add contamination. We examine the effect of lower clouds using the difference between simultaneously measured MODIS and AERONET AOT. The difference is positively correlated with the cloud fraction. However, interpretation of this difference is sensitive to the definition of cloud contamination versus aerosol growth. If we consider this consistent difference between MODIS and AERONET to be entirely due to cloud contamination we get a total cloud contamination of 0.025/spl plusmn/0.005, though a more likely estimate is closer to 0.020 after accounting for aerosol growth. This reduces the difference between MODIS-observed global aerosol optical thickness over the oceans and model simulations by half, from 0.04 to 0.02. However it is insignificant for studies of aerosol cloud interaction. We also examined how representative are the MODIS data of the diurnal average aerosol. Comparison to monthly averaged sunphotometer data confirms that either the Terra or Aqua estimate of global AOT is a valid representation of the daily average. Though in the vicinity of aerosol sources such as fires, we do not expect this to be true.

description: Ships modify cloud microphysics by adding cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) to a developing or existing cloud. These create lines of larger reflectance in cloud fields that are observed in satellite imagery. An algorithm has been developed to automate the detection of ship tracks in Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2) imagery. The scheme has been integrated into the Global Retrieval of ATSR Cloud Parameters and Evaluation (GRAPE) processing chain. The algorithm firstly identifies intensity ridgelets in clouds which have the potential to be part of a ship track. This identification is done by comparing each pixel with its surrounding ones. If the intensity of three adjacent pixels is greater than the intensity of their neighbours, then it is classified as a ridgelet. These ridgelets are then connected together, according to a set of connectivity rules, to form tracks which are classed as ship tracks if they are long enough. The algorithm has been applied to two years of ATSR-2 data. Ship tracks are most frequently seen off the west coast of California, and the Atlantic coast of both West Africa and South-Western Europe. The global distribution of ship tracks shows strong seasonality, little inter-annual variability and a similar spatial pattern to the distribution of ship emissions.

description: Measurements made during the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) have shown the presence of large aerosol loadings over the region of the northern Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. In recent years there has been significant interannual variability in the magnitude of this aerosol loading during the NE monsoon months of January-April. Monitoring of the integrated atmospheric column effective aerosol optical properties was initiated in early 1998 and continued in 2000 on the island of Kaashidhoo in the Republic of Maldives. An Aerosol Robotic Network Sun-sky radiometer at the Kaashidhoo Climate Observatory made spectral measurements of the direct Sun and directional sky radiances which were utilized to infer spectral aerosol optical depths ?a, single scattering albedos, asymmetry factors, and aerosol size distributions. Monthly average aerosol optical depths at 500 nm varied by more than a factor of 2 during January through April for the 3 years that were investigated, 1998–2000. Interannual variations in the monthly mean Angstrom wavelength exponent were also observed, resulting from differences in the bimodal aerosol size distributions. Spectral variations in the Angstrom wavelength exponent were observed, especially at high aerosol optical depths when fine mode aerosols dominated over the optical influence of coarse-mode aerosols. Some differences in spectral single scattering albedo and asymmetry factor were observed for 1999 versus 2000 in the infrared wavelengths, but with relatively little change in the visible wavelengths. The spectral variation in the retrieved single scattering albedo was large, with approximately linear wavelength dependence averaging from 0.91 at 440 nm to 0.83 at 1020 nm for January–March 1999 for observations where ?a at 440 nm >0.4.

description: Landslides can have significant and pervasive impacts to life and property around the world. Several attempts have been made to predict the geographic distribution of landslide activity at continental and global scales. These efforts shared common traits such as resolution, modeling approach, and explanatory variables. The lessons learned from prior research have been applied to build a new global susceptibility map from existing and previously unavailable data. Data on slope, faults, geology, forest loss, and road networks were combined using a heuristic fuzzy approach. The map was evaluated with a Global Landslide Catalog developed at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as well as several local landslide inventories. Comparisons to similar susceptibility maps suggest that the subjective methods commonly used at this scale are, for the most part, reproducible. However, comparisons of landslide susceptibility across spatial scales must take into account the susceptibility of the local subset relative to the larger study area. The new global landslide susceptibility map is intended for use in disaster planning, situational awareness, and for incorporation into global decision support systems.

description: Introduction: Providing care to patients with cancer, is a particularly tough process for nurses, due to the many stress factors and demands they face daily.Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress, compassion satisfaction, and occupational burnout in a Greek sample of oncology nurses.Method: The sample of this study consisted of 71 nurses and nurse assistants that were working in oncology wards in central hospitals of Athens. The data were collected with a demographic questionnaire and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL R-IV).Results: The mean age of the sample was 41.82±8.94 years and the majority were women (91.5%). Moderate values were noticed in all subscales. In compassion satisfaction the mean value and standard deviation was 35.73±6.85, in burnout was 26.72±5.91, while in compassion fatigue was 24.63±6.84. A statistically significant effect of the work environment was observed with the subscales of compassion satisfaction (p=0.04) and burnout (p=0.001). Teamwork also appeared to have a statistically significant effect in burnout (p=0.003). Participants who stated that they wanted to leave the department in which they worked had higher burnout (p<0.001). Finally, a negative correlation was found between compassion satisfaction and burnout (r = -0.72, p < 0.001) and a positive correlation between burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder (r = 0.49, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The development of special interventions that will aim in reducing the psychological and physical burden of the nursing staff is imperative, especially in areas where patients' symptoms are many and their management is difficult.

description: Both sensor calibration and satellite retrieval algorithm play an important role in the ability to determine accurately long-term trends from satellite data. Owing to the unprecedented accuracy and long-term stability of its radiometric calibration, SeaWiFS measurements exhibit minimal uncertainty with respect to sensor calibration. In this study, we take advantage of this well-calibrated set of measurements by applying a newly-developed aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval algorithm over land and ocean to investigate the distribution of AOD, and to identify emerging patterns and trends in global and regional aerosol loading during its 13-yr mission. Our correlation analysis between climatic indices (such as ENSO) and AOD suggests strong relationships for Saharan dust export as well as biomass-burning activity in the tropics, associated with large-scale feedbacks. The results also indicate that the averaged AOD trend over global ocean is weakly positive from 1998 to 2010 and comparable to that observed by MODIS but opposite in sign to that observed by AVHRR during overlapping years. On regional scales, distinct tendencies are found for different regions associated with natural and anthropogenic aerosol emission and transport. For example, large upward trends are found over the Arabian Peninsula that indicate a strengthening of the seasonal cycle of dust emission and transport processes over the whole region as well as over downwind oceanic regions. In contrast, a negative-neutral tendency is observed over the desert/arid Saharan region as well as in the associated dust outflow over the north Atlantic. Additionally, we found decreasing trends over the eastern US and Europe, and increasing trends over countries such as China and India that are experiencing rapid economic development. In general, these results are consistent with those derived from ground-based AERONET measurements.

description: Max Eckert wrote the first comprehensive German textbook on mapping science "Die Kartenwissenschaft". His intention was, similar to Karl Peucker, to establish cartography as a new scientific discipline. The main goal of this paper is to examine whether Eckert's "Die Kartenwissenschaft" can be considered as a milestone in the development of theoretical cartography? With 1,520 pages, more than 1,000 references and over 2,000 map references Eckert created a work that adopts an integrative approach towards all aspects of contemporary cartography, including previously neglected subjects, such as thematic cartography. This synthesis of material, which made the wide variety of cartography manifest, was an important building block in the development of cartography as a science. On the other hand, one must note that this extensive work primarily contains a descriptive systematization of empirically-traditionally incurred elements and only few theoretically-based components, which are limited to the topics of relief representation and to map projection theory. There are several reasons why Eckert was not able to elevate this rich body of empirical material to a higher level of abstraction. The main reason was that general theories such as semiotics, information and communication theory were not yet developed to a sufficient extent.
description: Max Eckerts zweibändiges Werk „Die Kartenwissenschaft“ gilt als ein wichtiges Basiswerk der Kartographie. Eckerts Intention bestand vornehmlich darin, die theoretische Kartographie zu einer solchen Wissenschaftsdisziplin zu erheben, die die Gesetzmäßigkeiten der kartographischen Darstellung erm ittelt und daraus Normen für die praktische Kartographie ableitet. Gleichzeitig sollte damit ein Fundus für Kartographie-Vorlesungen im akademischen Raum geschaffen werden. Jedoch wird die wissenschaftstheoretische Bedeutung dieses Werkes seit ihrer Veröffentlichung durchaus ambivalent beurteilt. Der folgende Beitrag lenkt den Blick auf den Entstehungskontext und disziplingeschichtliche Aspekte, vor denen das Werk Eckerts zu sehen ist.

description: A mesoscale network of 14 AERONET Sun photometers was established in the UAE and adjacent Arabian Gulf from August through September 2004 as a component of the United Arab Emirates Unified Aerosol Experiment (UAE2). These measurements allowed for spatial, temporal and spectral characterization of the complex aerosol mixtures present in this environment where coarse mode desert dust aerosols often mix with fine mode pollution aerosols largely produced by the petroleum industry. Aerosol loading was relatively high with 2-month averages of aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 500 nm (?a500) ranging from 0.40 to 0.53. A higher fine mode fraction of AOD was observed over Arabian Gulf island sites with Angstrom exponent at 440–870 nm (?440–870) of 0.77 as compared to an average of 0.64 over coastal sites and 0.50–0.57 at inland desert sites. During pollution events with ?440–870 > 1 the retrieved fine mode radius was larger over an island site than a desert site probably because of hygroscopic growth over the humid marine environment. For these same pollution cases, single scattering albedo (?o) at all wavelengths was ?0.03 higher (less absorption) over the marine environment than over the desert, also consistent with aerosol humidification growth. At an inland desert location, the ?o at 440 nm remained relatively constant as Angstrom exponent varied since the fine mode pollution and coarse mode dust were both strong absorbers at short wavelengths. However, at longer wavelengths (675–1020 nm) the dust was much less absorbing than the pollution resulting in dynamic ?o as a function of ?440–870.

description: AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) data are the primary benchmark for evaluating satellite-retrieved aerosol properties. However, despite its extensive coverage, the representativeness of the AERONET data is rarely discussed. Indeed, many studies have shown that satellite retrieval biases have a significant degree of spatial correlation that may be problematic for higher-level processes or inverse-emissions-modeling studies. To consider these issues and evaluate relative performance in regions of few surface observations, cross-comparisons between the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) products of operational MODIS Collection 5.1 Dark Target (DT) and operational MODIS Collection 5.1 Deep Blue (DB) with MISR version 22 were conducted. Through such comparisons, we can observe coherent spatial features of the AOD bias while sidestepping the full analysis required for determining when or where either retrieval is more correct. We identify regions where MODIS to MISR AOD ratios were found to be above 1.4 and below 0.7. Regions where lower boundary condition uncertainty is likely to be a dominant factor include portions of Western North America, the Andes mountains, Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Central Asia. Similarly, microphysical biases may be an issue in South America, and specific parts of Southern Africa, India Asia, East Asia, and Indonesia. These results help identify high-priority locations for possible future deployments of both in situ and ground based remote sensing measurements. The Supplement includes a kml file.

description: One year's worth of aerosol and surface irradiance data from September 2005 to August 2006 were obtained at Taihu, the second supersite for the East Asian Study of Tropospheric Aerosols: An International Regional Experiment (EAST-AIRE). Aerosol optical properties derived from measurements by a Sun photometer were analyzed. The aerosol data were used together with surface irradiance data to quantitatively estimate aerosol effects on surface shortwave radiation (SWR) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The annual mean aerosol optical depth at 500 nm is 0.77, and mean Ångstrom wavelength exponent is 1.17. The annual mean aerosol single scattering albedo and mean aerosol asymmetry factor at 440 nm are 0.90 and 0.72, respectively. Both parameters show a weak seasonal variation, with small values occurring during the winter and larger values during the summer. Clear positive relationships between relative humidity and aerosol properties suggest aerosol hygroscopic growth greatly modifies aerosol properties. The annual mean aerosol direct radiative forcing at the surface (ADRF) is ?38.4 W m?2 and ?17.8 W m?2 for SWR and PAR, respectively. Because of moderate absorption, the instantaneous ADRF at the top of the atmosphere derived from CERES SSF data is close to zero. Heavy aerosol loading in this region leads to ?112.6 W m?2 and ?45.5 W m?2 reduction in direct and global SWR, but 67.1 W m?2 more diffuse SWR reaching the surface. With regard to PAR, the annual mean differences in global, direct and diffuse irradiance are ?23.1 W m?2, ?65.2 W m?2 and 42.1 W m?2 with and without the presence of aerosol, respectively.

description: Gas flaring is a common practice in the oil industry that can have significant environmental impacts, but has until recently been largely overlooked in terms of relevance to climate change. We utilize data from various satellite sensors to examine pollutant emissions from oil exploitation activities in four areas near the Arctic. Despite the remoteness of these sparsely populated areas, tropospheric NO₂ retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is substantial at ∼1 × 10¹⁵ molecules cm⁻², suggesting sizeable emissions from these industrial activities. Statistically significant (at the 95% confidence level, corresponding uncertainties in parentheses) increasing trends of 0.017 (±0.01) × 10¹⁵ and 0.015 (±0.006) × 10¹⁵ molecules cm⁻² year⁻¹ over 2004–2015 were found for Bakken (USA) and Athabasca (Canada), two areas having recently experienced fast expansion in the oil industry. This rapid change has implications for emission inventories, which are updated less frequently. No significant trend was found for the North Sea (Europe), where oil production has been declining since the 1990s. For northern Russia, the trend was just under the 95% significance threshold at 0.0057 (±0.006) × 10¹⁵ molecules cm⁻² year⁻¹. This raises an interesting inconsistency as prior studies have suggested that, in contrast to the continued, albeit slow, expansion of Russian oil/gas production, gas flaring in Russia has decreased in recent years. However, only a fraction of oil fields in Russia were covered in our analysis. Satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) data revealed similar tendencies, albeit at a weaker level of statistical significance, due to the longer lifetime of aerosols and contributions from other sources. This study demonstrates that synergetic use of data from multiple satellite sensors can provide valuable information on pollutant emission sources that is otherwise difficult to acquire.

description: In the fall of 1997, during an Intensive Observation Period (IOP), the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program conducted a study of water vapor abundance measurement at its Southern Great Plains (SGP) site. Among a large number of instruments, four sun-tracking radiometers were present to measure the columnar water vapor (CWV). All four solar radiometers retrieve CWV by measuring total solar transmittance in the 0.94-gm water vapor absorption band and subtracting contributions due to Rayleigh, ozone and aerosol transmittances. The aerosol optical depth comparisons among the same four radiometers has been presented elsewhere (Geophys. Res. Lett., 26, 17, 2725-2728, 1999). We have used three different methods to retrieve CWV. In a first round of comparison no attempt was made to standardize on the same radiative transfer model and its underlying water vapor spectroscopy. In the second round of comparison we used the same line-by-line code (which includes recently corrected H2O spectroscopy) to retrieve CAN from all four suntracking radiometers. This decreased the mean CWV by 8% or 13%. The spread of 8% in the solar radiometer results found when using the same model is an indication of the other-than-model uncertainties involved in determining CWV from solar transmittance measurements with current instrumentation.

description: We analyze the aerosol distribution and composition in the Northern Hemisphere during the Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) field experiment in spring 2001. We use the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model in this study, in conjunction with satellite retrieval from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on EOS-Terra satellite and Sun photometer measurements from the worldwide Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Statistical analysis methods including histograms, mean bias, root-mean-square error, correlation coefficients, and skill scores are applied to quantify the differences between the MODIS 1° × 1° gridded data, the daytime average AERONET data, and the daily mean 2° × 2.5° resolution model results. Both MODIS and the model show relatively high aerosol optical thickness (?) near the source regions of Asia, Europe, and northern Africa, and they agree on major features of the long-range transport of aerosols from their source regions to the neighboring oceans. The ? values from MODIS and from the model have similar probability distributions in the extratropical oceans and in Europe, but MODIS is approximately 2–3 times as high as the model in North/Central America and nearly twice as high in Asia and over the tropical/subtropical oceans. Comparisons with the AERONET measurements in the Northern Hemisphere demonstrate that in general the model and the AERONET data have comparable values and similar probability distributions of ?, whereas MODIS tends to report higher values of ? over land, particularly North/Central America. The MODIS high bias is primarily attributed to the difficulties in land algorithm dealing with surface reflectance over inhomogeneous and bright land surfaces, including mountaintops, arid areas, and areas of snow/ice melting and with land/water mixed pixels. The model estimates that on average, sulfate, carbon, dust, and sea salt comprise 30%, 25%, 32%, and 13%, respectively, of the 550-nm ? in April 2001 in the Northern Hemisphere, with ?46% of the total ? from anthropogenic activities and 66% from fine mode aerosols.

description: This volume covers Leg 22 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Four quite separate scientific problems faced us on Leg 22: (1) to find out the age and mode of formation of the Whafton Basin, (2) to obtain a detailed stratigraphic and biostratigraphic sequence on and to either side of the Ninetyeast Ridge, (3) to determine the mode of formation of the Ninetyeast Ridge, and (4) to date two of the three major unconformities in the Bengal Fan. To accomplish these goals the ship sailed from Darwin to Colombo with a plan to drill from 8 to 10 holes between January and March of 1972.

description: Multidirectional ground-based optical measurements were acquired along tramways above and beneath three important boreal forest canopies to characterize the complete radiative transfer of visible through shortwave infrared wavelengths. The three forest canopy types exhibited bidirectional reflectance features that were distinctively different from each other not only in their magnitudes of reflectance in a given spectral wavelength band and at forward and backscatter angles but also in their diurnal and seasonal changes. The above-canopy data analyses indicate that each of these forest types must be considered as having unique bidirectional reflectance distribution functions and should be modeled individually for both direct (e.g. albedo) and indirect (e.g. biophysical parameter assessments) applications in the quantitative remote sensing of the boreal forest biome.

description: Aerosol variations and trends over different land and ocean regions from 1980 to 2009 are analyzed with the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model and observations from multiple satellite sensors and available ground-based networks. Excluding time periods with large volcanic influence, aerosol optical depth (AOD) and surface concentration over polluted land regions generally vary with anthropogenic emissions, but the magnitude of this association can be dampened by the presence of natural aerosols, especially dust. Over the 30-year period in this study, the largest reduction in aerosol levels occurs over Europe, where AOD has decreased by 40–60% on average and surface sulfate concentrations have declined by a factor of up to 3–4. In contrast, East Asia and South Asia show AOD increases, but the relatively high level of dust aerosols in Asia reduces the correlation between AOD and pollutant emission trends. Over major dust source regions, model analysis indicates that the change of dust emissions over the Sahara and Sahel has been predominantly driven by the change of near-surface wind speed, but over Central Asia it has been largely influenced by the change of the surface wetness. The decreasing dust trend in the North African dust outflow region of the tropical North Atlantic and the receptor sites of Barbados and Miami is closely associated with an increase of the sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic. This temperature increase may drive the decrease of the wind velocity over North Africa, which reduces the dust emission, and the increase of precipitation over the tropical North Atlantic, which enhances dust removal during transport. Despite significant trends over some major continental source regions, the model-calculated global annual average AOD shows little change over land and ocean in the past three decades, because opposite trends in different land regions cancel each other out in the global average, and changes over large open oceans are negligible. This highlights the necessity for regional-scale assessment of aerosols and their climate impacts, as global-scale average values can obscure important regional changes.

description: Sensitivity studies are conducted regarding aerosol optical property retrieval from radiances measured by ground-based Sun-sky scanning radiometers of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). These studies focus on testing a new inversion concept for simultaneously retrieving aerosol size distribution, complex refractive index, and single-scattering albedo from spectral measurements of direct and diffuse radiation. The perturbations of the inversion resulting from random errors, instrumental offsets, and known uncertainties in the atmospheric radiation model are analyzed. Sun or sky channel miscalibration, inaccurate azimuth angle pointing during sky radiance measurements, and inaccuracy in accounting for surface reflectance are considered as error sources. The effects of these errors on the characterization of three typical and optically distinct aerosols with bimodal size distributions (weakly absorbing water-soluble aerosol, absorbing biomass-burning aerosol, and desert dust) are considered. The aerosol particles are assumed in the retrieval to be polydispersed homogeneous spheres with the same complex refractive index. Therefore we also examined how inversions with such an assumption bias the retrievals in the case of nonspherical dust aerosols and in the case of externally or internally mixed spherical particles with different refractive indices. The analysis shows successful retrieval of all aerosol characteristics (size distribution, complex refractive index, and single-scattering albedo), provided the inversion includes the data combination of spectral optical depth together with sky radiances in the full solar almucantar (with angular coverage of scattering angles up to 100° or more). The retrieval accuracy is acceptable for most remote sensing applications even in the presence of rather strong systematic or random uncertainties in the measurements. The major limitations relate to the characterization of low optical depth situations for all aerosol types, where high relative errors may occur in the direct radiation measurements of aerosol optical depth. Also, the results of tests indicate that a decrease of angular coverage of scattering (scattering angles of 75° or less) in the sky radiance results in the loss of practical information about refractive index. Accurate azimuth angle pointing is critical for the characterization of dust. Scattering by nonspherical dust particles requires special analysis, whereby approximation of the aerosol by spheres allows us to derive single-scattering albedo by inverting spectral optical depth together with sky radiances in the full solar almucantar. Inverting sky radiances measured in the first 40° scattering angle only, where nonspherical effects are minor, results in accurate retrievals of aerosol size distributions of nonspherical particles.
