Earth surface reflectance climatology from 3 years of OMI data

Abstract: Global maps of the Earth's surface Lambertian equivalent reflectance (LER) are constructed using 3 years of Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) measurements obtained between October 2004 and October 2007 at 23 wavelengths between 328 and 500 nm. The maps are constructed on a 0.5° by 0.5° longitude‐latitude grid for each calendar month using an algorithm based on temporal histograms of the observed LER values per geophysical location. The algorithm allows seasonal effects related to vegetation, snow, and ice but … Show more

“…In contrast, the climatological LERs currently used in OMI algorithms, from either the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) or OMI, are derived by correcting only for Rayleigh scattering and thus include aerosol effects (see details in Herman and Celarier, 1997;Kleipool et al, 2008). Therefore, the use of the geometry-dependent LER product in trace-gas algorithms over heavily polluted regions may also require an explicit account of aerosols (Lin et al, 2015).…”

“…Surface reflectivity climatologies used in most current algorithms are typically gridded monthly Lambertian equivalent reflectivities (LERs) that have been derived from satellite observations (e.g., Herman and Celarier, 1997;Kleipool et al, 2008;Russell et al, 2011;Popp et al, 2011). These climatologies generally have no dependence on the observation geometry.…”

“…A typical uncertainty on the albedo is 0.02 (Kleipool et al, 2008). This translates to an error on the air mass factor after multiplication by the slope of the air mass factor as a function of the albedo (Eq.…”

“…For the surface albedo dimension, we use the climatological monthly minimum Lambertian equivalent reflector (minLER) data from Kleipool et al (2008) at 328 nm for w1 and w2, and 376 m for w3. This database is based on OMI measurements and has a spatial resolution of 0.5 • × 0.5 • .…”

“…The surface albedo is also fitted in the retrieval and the OMI surface albedo climatology (Kleipool et al, 2008) is used as an initial value for the surface underneath the atmosphere. If the cloud fraction taken from the dedicated OMI cloud product (OMCLDO2; Acarreta et al, 2004) is lower than 0.2, surface albedos are fitted.…”
