CAR SCAR-A Sulfates, Clouds, and Radiation-Atlantic BRDF Measurements BRDF V2 (CAR_SCARA_BRDF) at GES DISC

The objectives for the SCAR mission are to advance our knowledge of how the physical, chemical and radiative processes in our atmosphere are affected by sulfate aerosol and smoke from biomass burning; to improve our expertise at remotely sensing smoke, water vapor, clouds, vegetation and fires; and to assess the effects of deforestation and biomass burning on tropical landscapes. The SCAR-A campaign occurred in western Atlantic Ocean.

This data set consists of observations made with the CAR instrument and includes values for bidirectional reflectance factor at varying spectral bands.

SCAR任务的目标在于深化我们对大气中硫酸气溶胶和生物质燃烧产生的烟雾对物理、化学及辐射过程影响的认知；提升我们在遥测烟雾、水汽、云层、植被及火灾等方面的专业能力；并评估森林砍伐与生物质燃烧对热带景观造成的影响。SCAR-A行动于大西洋西部海域展开。本数据集包含使用CAR仪器进行的观测数据，并包含了不同光谱波段下的双向反射率因子值。
