EARLINET-Contract:
1. Quantify the sensitivity of radiances at the top of the atmosphere (toa) to variations of the aerosol distribution [...]. This will be used to provide an estimate of the impact of aerosols on retrievals [...] from spaceborne platforms.
2. Provide aerosol distributions for calibration purposes upon request [...].

Contract: Description of work
This is done by running adequate radiative transfer models using the aerosol data [...]. As a result, inversion algorithms [...] can be critically reviewed and improved.
Additional lidar measurements [...] will be performed at special occasions when satellite overpasses close to an EARLINET station occurs [...]. For this part to stay within the limits of the available resources it will be done only on request.

Relevance of WP 8
multispectral and multiangular radiances from satellites used to retrieve aerosol optical depth
critical over land surfaces (albedo, orography)
complex retrieval algorithms require validation
„Validation of atmospheric parameters“

Relevance of WP 8
multispectral and multiangular radiances from satellites used to retrieve surface properties (e.g. precision farming)
determine atmospheric influence (unknown aerosol effect)
corrections of atmospheric masking require input and validation

First contribution
Actions proposed: Supply survey of available aerosol extinction profiles (site, time, wavelength)
Goal:Support validation of satellite retrievals by supplying lidar data
(possible candidates: Envisat, MSG community)
Data dissemination:On request (Webpage)

First contribution
Results/Conclusions:Aerosol extinction profiles from more than 20 lidar stations, twotimes a week and for more than two years, are available.
Validation of aerosol retrievals requires a careful selectionof time and place, and averaging over reasonable periods.
Envisat and MSG are still at the beginning of their operation times. Final success requires extra funding (also for the satellitecommunity), time horizon: 2003/04

Conclusions from the model simulations
Satellite radiances are significantly influenced by aerosols:
-- optical depth-- aerosol type-- aerosol profile

Conclusions from WP 8
Validation campaigns of aerosol parameterswith lidar data require extra efforts
Model simulations show that the aerosol vertical distribution is a second order effect for satelliteremote sensing, but should be provided together with a aerosol classification („aerosol type“)
