CAR SCAR-A Sulfates, Clouds, and Radiation-Atlantic L1 V1 (CAR_SCARA_L1C) 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-B campaign occurred in western Atlantic Ocean.

SCAR任务的目标在于深化我们对大气中物理、化学和辐射过程受硫酸气溶胶及生物质燃烧烟雾影响机制的理解；提升我们在遥感烟雾、水蒸气、云层、植被和火灾监测方面的专业能力；并评估森林砍伐和生物质燃烧对热带景观所产生的影响。SCAR-B活动在北大西洋西部海域进行。
