Summary

Abstract: The objective of the Tropospheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing
Observational Experiment (TARFOX) was to Determine the direct
radiative impact and (chemical, physical, optical) properties
of aerosols to reduce uncertainties in their effect on climate.
The data was collected for the MODIS Airborne Simulator
(MAS) project. This data will help define, develop, and test
algorithms for the Moderate ...
