Using the distinctive absorption features of CO around 2145 cm-1 in the infrared band, a retrieval algorithm based on optimal estimation is first developed to retrieve the CO profiles from FY-3E/HIRAS-II. The thermal contrast, defined as the temperature difference between the surface and the lower atmosphere, is then examined for the FY-3E/HIRAS-II observations to investigate the potential sensitivity of the observations. Retrievals of CO columns on four representative days over four seasons reveal strong enhancements from global wildfire emissions. Furthermore, the information content from the spectra, quantified by the degree of freedom for signal (DOFS), is assessed using the retrievals. The retrievals are compared with model simulations, which show good agreement. Finally, synthetic experiments are performed to investigate the impacts of thermal contrast and the vertical structure of wildfire-induced CO enhancement on the observational sensitivity. The result highlights the effectiveness of observing wildfire-induced CO enhancement during the dawn and dusk hours, even when thermal contrast conditions are not favorable. This study demonstrates the capability of FY-3E/HIRAS-II to monitor global CO, which sheds light on the potential benefits of adding dawn-dusk orbit observations to the current global air quality observations from mid-morning and early-afternoon orbit constellations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 109336"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiance data gathered by various satellites scanning the Earth surface serve as important inputs for estimating the upward luminous flux of a city, which then allows to evaluate the level of light pollution in its surroundings. The easiest way is to assume the measured radiance of a city pixel as belonging to its direct radiation. However, this radiance is ”contaminated” by scattered radiation coming from the light emitting surroundings of the pixel. In principle, this diffuse light contribution can influence the estimate of the emitted flux. In this paper, we developed a model to assess how important such a contribution can be for cities of different shapes and sizes. The numerical simulations for real city patterns obtained from the VIIRS-DNB database reveal, that scattered radiation could make up on average about 10%–20% of the total upward radiance of a pixel under quite obvious aerosol conditions. We have also derived two simplified models for idealized city patterns which enable relatively simple estimation of the diffuse radiation contribution without the need of complex simulations for realistic cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 109330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilizes the cloud retrieval products from the CloudSat/CALIPSO satellite observations from 2007 to 2010 to analyze the global distributions of multi-layer and multi-phase clouds as well as their cloud radiative effects (CRE) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), at the surface, and within the atmosphere. We separate and aggregate cloudy satellite footprints by the number of cloud layers, and further consider the different combinations of cloud phases for the one-layer and multi-layer clouds. The globally averaged total cloud fraction is 72.52 %, with the one-layer and multi-layer clouds take up 49.39 % and 23.13 %, respectively. The one-layer water, ice, and mixed-phase cloud fractions are 21.93 %, 19.42 %, and 8.04 %, respectively. The two-layer and three-layer clouds most frequently occur with one ice layer at the top. The heights of cloud top and bottom as well as the cloud thickness are correspondingly derived for all sub-types of clouds. The globally averaged TOA net total CRE is −18.25 W m⁻², with −14.63 W m⁻² attributed to one-layer clouds and −3.62 W m⁻² to multi-layer clouds. At the surface, the global annual average net total CRE is −25.01 W m⁻², and the one-layer and multi-layer clouds contribute −17.24 W m⁻² and −7.77 W m⁻², respectively. Clouds generally exert a net heating effect within the atmosphere. Our findings provide valuable insights into the detailed layer and phase structures of clouds and could serve as the reference for evaluating cloud structure and radiation simulations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 109334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the multiple sphere T-matrix (MSTM), the extinction efficiency (<em>Q_ext</em>), absorption efficiency (<em>Q_abs</em>), scattering efficiency (<em>Q_sca</em>), and asymmetry factor (<em>g</em>) for coated BC were evaluated under different fractal dimensions, monomer radii, refractive indices, and incident wavelengths, by considering the volume fraction of thinly coated BC and thickly coated BC in the range from 20 % to 60 % and 2 % to 10 %, respectively.
