Satellites unlock new insights into aerosol layer heights over oceans
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Sep 06, 2024
A new study has shown that NASA's PACE satellite, equipped with the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), can precisely measure the height of aerosol layers above ocean surfaces. This capability is essential for improving our understanding of how aerosols influence weather patterns and climate and is a major advancement in atmospheric correction techniques used in satellite-based ocean color monitoring.
