CAR TARFOX Tropospheric Aerosol Experiment BRDF V2 (CAR_TARFOX_BRDF) at GES DISC

CAR TARFOX mission collected data in the western Atlantic Ocean on the effects of tropospheric aerosols on radiation budgets in cloud free skies. The mission also measured the chemical, physical, and optical properties of aerosols. In July 1996, CAR data were collected aboard the University of Washington C-131A aircraft over the forested Great Dismal Swamp wetlands south of Norfolk, Virginia and the Atlantic Ocean approximately 340 km offshore of Richmond, Virginia.

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

CAR TARFOX任务在北大西洋采集了关于平流层气溶胶对晴空辐射收支影响的观测数据。此次任务还测量了气溶胶的化学、物理和光学性质。1996年7月，CAR数据在南弗吉尼亚州诺福克以南的森林化大沼泽湿地及其约340公里外的中大西洋上空，由华盛顿大学C-131A飞机收集。该数据集包含使用CAR仪器进行的观测，并包括了不同光谱波段的双向反射率因子值。
