Infrared Radiative Forcing by Aerosols during the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX)

这项研究的目标有两个：(1)将分析以前未分析的研究机(C-130)数据集，其中包括光谱范围为8-12微米和4-40微米的上行辐射，并将其分发给社区；(2)将与国家大气研究中心的机载成像微波辐射计仪器组合作，为C-130上的微波辐射计开发一个水蒸气反演算法。这个算法将非常有用，不仅对这项研究，而且对其他众多项目也是如此。更广泛的影响。将开发和分发一个有价值的数据集，供研究气候变化的气候科学界普遍使用。

The goals of this research are two-fold:(i) a previously unanalyzed research aircraft (C-130) data set consisting of upwelling radiances in the spectral ranges 8-12 and 4-40 micrometers will be analyzed and distributed to the community and, (ii) a water vapor retrieval algorithm will be developed for the microwave radiometer aboard the C-130, in conjunction with the Airborne Imaging Microwave Radiometer (AIMR) instrument group at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). This algorithm will be highly useful, not only for this research but for other numerous projects as well. Broader Impact. A valuable data set will be developed and distributed for the general use of the climate sciences community studying climate change.
