The Global Aerosol System As Viewed By MODIS TodayThe MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol algorithms have been working steadily since early 2000 to transform the MODIS-measured spectral solar reflectance from the Earth's surface and atmosphere into a variety of aerosol products. In this lecture I will proceed through a survey of these products, answering the following questions as I proceed. What are the products? How do they compare with ground truth? How do we use these products to describe the global aerosol system? Are aerosols increasing or decreasing? How do aerosols affect climate and clouds?
