Over ocean, 98 of MODIS-Terra near-IR (1243-2119
nm) aerosol optical depth (AOD) values differed
from airborne sunphotometer (AATS) values by lt
the estimated uncertainty, 0.03 0.05AOD. For
MODIS-Aqua the was 100. These s exceed the
66 expected if 0.03 0.05AOD is 1s.

Does the good agreement between MODIS and AATS
AOD warrant vicarious validation of OMI with
MODIS?

Summary/Conclusions
  1. AATS-14 INTEX-B data set is very mature and the
    latest version is archived future changes will
    likely only affect singular data points at high
    altitude would require fine-combing by hand
  2. Validation for MODIS (-Terra -Aqua) well
    underway major finding is exceptionally good
    agreement and appreciable AOD at SWIR
  3. Validation of OMI, both the UV algorithm (Torres)
    as well as the multi-wavelength algorithm (KNMI)
    well underway major finding, relatively poor
    agreement with AATS so far
  4. Aerosol extinction profiles work not yet funded
    have preliminary screening of suitable AOD
    profiles - collecting suggestions for special
    case studies to come up with a list of
    priorities
  5. Collaboration with other J-31 sensors is in its
    starting phase
  6. Future plans (partially dependent on positive
    funding news) increase collaboration with other
    J-31 sensors process extinction profiles look
    at fine-scale AOD retrievals near clouds.
