Volcanic ash and aerosol detection versus dust detection using火山灰和气溶胶探测与尘埃探测.pptVIP

Volcanic ash and aerosol detection versus dust detection using GOES and MODIS imagery Main Features “Easy” to implement techniques: BT11.0um-BT12.0um BT11.0um-BT3.9um (night) Estimated “reflected” 3.9um (day) False color 3.9/11.0/12.0um product BT8.5um-BT12.0um (ash and/or aerosol) Examples of volcanic constituents vs. dust with GOES and MODIS data Ash/Dust in the 3.9 – 11.0 um range DAY: higher reflectance for ash/dust clouds and water droplets; lower reflectance for ice particles NIGHT: BT11.0-BT3.9 = negative for thin ash/dust clouds = negative for ice cloud = positive for water cloud Volcanic Aerosol vs. Ash/Dust in the 8.5 – 12.0 um range BT8.3um – BT12.0um = negative for SO2 and H2SO4 BT8.3um – BT12.0um = negative for silicates, but sensitive to particle size. Ash/Dust in the 11.0 – 12.0 um range BT11.0um-BT12.0um = negative for ash/dust = positive for ice/water cloud Summary remarks and points to ponder Variability of eruption cloud: If multi-channel imagery is available, use it! What is the significance of large (or small) BT10.7-BT12.0? What are we seeing using the 8.x um region (ash/dust/aerosol)? How can we best combine this information with other information on SO2 detection? * Bernadette Connell Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere Colorado State University 2nd International Conference on Volcanic Ash and Aviation SafetyJune 21-24, 2004Alexandria, Virginia, USA Popocatepetl Volcano, Mexico 22 January, 2001 22:45 UTC GOES-8 imagery Visible 3.9 um 10.7 um Popocatepetl Volcano, Mexico 22 January, 2001 22:45 UTC GOES-8 imagery GOES imagery and products 23 January 2001 04:45 UTC Popocatepetl, Mexico 10.7 um BT10.7-BT3.9 BT10.7-BT12.0 False color: 10.9/BT10.7-BT12.0/BT10.7-BT3.9 GOES-8 BT10.7-BT12.0 MODIS Terra BT11.0-BT12.0 MODIS Terra BT8.5-BT12.0 Popocatepetl, Mexico 22 January, 2001 04:45 UTC GOES, 04:50 UTC MODIS 18 April, 2001 19:30 UTC DUST detection
