A sensitivity test of the aerosol properties retrieval is conducted using nadir viewing instruments on board the ENVISAT-1 platform trying to reproduce the natural variability of the aerosol ®eld. The analysis highlights problems arising in theretrieval when aerosol loading, relative humidity, and cloud coverage are simultaneously varied.

Abstract

A sensitivity test of the aerosol properties retrieval is conducted using nadir viewing instruments on board the ENVISAT-1 platform trying to reproduce the natural variability of the aerosol ®eld. The analysis highlights problems arising in theretrieval when aerosol loading, relative humidity, and cloud coverage are simultaneously varied.
