Session ID#: 12462

Session Description:
Innovative instruments – such as high spectral resolution, multi-wavelength lidars and multiangle, multi-wavelength polarimeters – and improved algorithms are needed to reduce uncertainties in aerosol-cloud interactions and climate forcing studies. Knowledge of aerosol and cloud properties is also needed for atmospheric correction to ensure precise land and ocean surface characterization. Several advanced remote sensing instruments have been developed and deployed in recent field campaigns, including SEAC4RS, SABOR, NAAMES and ORACLES. Several new instruments are planned on future satellite missions, such as MAIA, HARP, PACE, 3MI and EarthCare. The goal of this session is to assemble expertise in radiative transfer theory, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and data applications to showcase recent advances in the observation of aerosol and cloud properties and atmospheric correction approaches. Papers on new sensor concepts, microphysical and optical modeling, remote sensing theory, observations and data analysis from airborne and satellite instruments are invited.
