Satellite measurements of physical properties of Saharan dustThe physical properties of Saharan dust obtained from AVHRR and VISSR images are studied. The techniques of Fraser (1976) and Kaufman and Fraser (1985) are used to derive the aerosol optical depth, mass, and single scattering albedo for the region extending from the west coast of Africa to the Barbados Island for the period of June 21-25, 1984. Optical properties measured by satellite are compared to aircraft measurements taken near Barbados Island during the same period. Remote measurement of thermal properties is also discussed.
