A dataset of global variations in directional solar radiation exposure for ocular research using the libRadtran radiative transfer model

<p>Directional solar photon flux density has particular relevance to eye disease research (keratitis, cataract formation, macula degeneration) because ocular components (cornea, lens, retina) experience different exposures dependent on global location, structural geometry of the eye and human behaviour (Sliney, 1997). The human macula has a field of view of ~17<strong>&deg;</strong>, or 0.06901537 sr (Strasburger, Rentschler &amp; J&uuml;ttner, 2011) and its cone of exposure can be modelled at a range of global locations using a radiation transfer model to estimate different directions of irradiation. This dataset provides examples of spectral radiance within the macula field of vision, calculated with the radiative transfer model libRadtran v2.0.3 (Mayer &amp; Kylling, 2005). Three data sets are provided at different latitudes without correction for spectral ocular transmission. Unless otherwise specified, all simulations were parametrized according to local meteorological condition (altitude, pressure, temperature) and atmospheric conditions on the simulated day (aerosol optical density, water column, O<sub>3</sub>&nbsp;and NO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;concentrations). The model was parametrized for a subject looking northward toward the ground (-15<strong>&deg;</strong>&nbsp;from horizon), at a height of 170 cm above the ground.</p> <p>For each simulation, a separate file is available for each condition (latitude, time, date, see below) that includes radiance at each wavelength. Radiance values are in&nbsp;mW m<sup>-2</sup>&nbsp;nm<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;sr<sup>-1</sup>.</p> <p>The technique provides future opportunity to model global exposures of different ocular components to spectral solar irradiance using information on ocular transmission, local terrain, albedo and human behaviour in order to explore their relevance in epidemiological studies of age-related eye disease.</p> <p>For each simulation, a separate file is available for each condition (latitude, time, date, see below) that includes radiance at each wavelength.

Enhanced 3D radiative transfer ACM-RT calculations and output for Cole et al., 2022

<p>For the Earth Cloud, Aerosol, Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite mission there are a number of algorithms used to process the observations.&nbsp;&nbsp; One of these algorithms, called ACM-RT, is designed to use retrieved geophysical properties to perform forward radiative transfer calculations using 1D and 3D solar and thermal radiative transfer models. &nbsp;The ACM-RT algorithm is documented in an Atmospheric Measurements and Techniques (AMT) article.&nbsp;</p> <p>To illustrate outputs from ACM-RT, including the benefits of 3D radiative transfer, &ldquo;enhanced&rdquo; radiative transfer calculations were performed, relative to calculations that would be performed operationally during the EarthCARE mission.&nbsp; In particular, the 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations used an increased number of samples to reduce the Monte Carlo uncertainty and calculations were performed for more of the input data.</p> <p>The relevant publication for these calculations is:</p> <p>Cole, J. N. S., H. W. Barker, Z. Qu, N. Villefranque and M. W. Shephard&nbsp;: Broadband Radiative Quantities for the EarthCARE Mission: The ACM-COM and ACM-RT Products. Submitted to AMT, November 2022.</p>

Supplement to "On the accuracy of RTTOV-SCATT for radiative transfer at all-sky microwave and submillimeter frequencies"

<p>This supplement contains a set of realistic cloudy and precipitating conditions from the Integrated Forecast System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the corresponding simulated brightness temperatures for the journal article &ldquo;On the accuracy of RTTOV-SCATT for radiative transfer at all-sky microwave and submillimeter frequencies&rdquo;, which is under review at the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. These data are available as benchmark for model developers.</p> <p>The IFS profiles correspond to model data interpolated (using the IFS observation operator) to the locations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) for a 12 h period centred on 03 UTC on 1 November 2018. Note that only a subset of the full set of AIRS locations are supplied here. The IFS model version cycle 46r1 was used, in a research experiment, to generate these profiles. The model was configured to T1279co resolution&nbsp; (about 8-9 km) with 137 levels in the vertical. The forecast was initialized from operational analyses at 18 UTC on 31 October 2018, and hence corresponds to the 12 h forecast &quot;background&quot; used in the data assimilation cycle.</p> <p>The following information concerns only the IFS model data:</p> <ul> <li>Copyright statement: Copyright &quot;&copy; 2022 European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)&quot;.</li> <li>Source: www.ecmwf.int.</li> <li>Disclaimer: ECMWF does not accept any liability whatsoever for any error or omission in the data, their availability, or for any loss or damage arising from their use.</li> <li>Licence Statement: This data is published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.</li> <li>Further information on the ECMWF data policy, and guidance on how to comply with it, is at https://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/licences/general/.</li> </ul> <p>The simulated brightness temperatures are also distributed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).</p> <p>The full journal description of this dataset is currently under review, with the current citation:</p> <p>Barlakas, V., Galligani, V.

Infrared Radiative Transfer Calculations Dataset

<p>This dataset presents the results of a series of experiments conducted varying combinations of two versions of the HITRAN database (2016 and 2020) and two versions of the MT_CKD water vapor continuum model (3.2 and 4.1.1). Five atmospheric models representing different climatic conditions (Tropical, Mid Latitude Winter, Mid Latitude Summer, Sub Arctic Winter, and Sub Arctic Summer) are employed. Key atmospheric gases, including CO2, O3, CH4, CO, N2O, and O2, are prescribed at each atmospheric model. The dataset includes calculations with all gases present as well as experiments removing individual gases (specifically CO2, O3, and water vapor). Outputs consist of upwelling and downwelling infrared radiation and cooling rate profiles at 44 atmospheric heights from the surface to 95 km. Data are provided at 0.1 cm^-1 resolution across the spectral range from 10 to 3000 cm^-1. For each experiment, a file in &ldquo;.txt&rdquo; format is available at each atmospheric height containing the flux each wavenumber. This dataset offers valuable insights into the impact of different atmospheric compositions and models on radiative transfer processes and cooling rates, contributing to a better understanding of Earth's climate system.</p> <p>Similar experiments are compacted in .tar files:</p> <p>var_profile_HITRAN<em>_lev_</em>lllll_mtckd{<em>_wo</em>flag}<em>.tar</em></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>var (3 digits)</td> <td>profile (3 digits)</td> <td>HITRAN (4 digits)</td> <td>lllll (5 digits)</td> <td>mtckd (3 digits)</td> <td>flag (3 digits)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>"olr": upward radiation flux</td> <td>"tro": Tropical</td> <td>2016</td> <td>Output height in meters. 5 digits.

Single-footprint retrievals for AIRS using a fast TwoSlab cloud-representation model and the all-sky infrared radiative transfer algorithm

<p>Dataset for AMT-2017-261 by DeSouza-Machado et. al.<br> <br> 1D-variational retrievals of temperature and moisture fields from<br> hyperspectral infrared satellite sounders use cloud-cleared radiances<br> as their observation. These derived observations allow the use of<br> clear-sky only radiative transfer in the inversion for geophysical<br> variables but at reduced spatial resolution compared to the native<br> sounder observations. Cloud-clearing can introduce various errors,<br> although scenes with large errors can be identified and<br> ignored. Information content studies show that when using multi-layer<br> cloud liquid and ice profiles in infrared hyperspectral radiative<br> transfer codes, there are typically only 2-4 degrees of freedom of<br> cloud signal. This implies a simplified cloud representation is<br> sufficient for some applications which need accurate radiative<br> transfer. Here we describe a single-footprint retrieval approach for<br> clear and cloudy conditions, which uses the thermodynamic and cloud<br> fields from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models as a first<br> guess, together with a simple cloud representation model coupled to a<br> fast scattering radiative transfer algorithm (RTA). The NWP model<br> thermodynamic and cloud profiles are first co-located to the<br> observations, after which the N-level cloud profiles are<br> converted to two slab clouds (typically one for ice and one for water<br> clouds). From these, one run of our fast cloud representation model<br> allows an improvement of the \emph{a-priori} cloud state by comparing the<br> observed and model simulated radiances in the thermal window<br> channels. The retrieval yield is over 90\%, while the degrees of<br> freedom correlate with the observed window channel brightness<br> temperature which itself depends on the cloud optical depth. The cloud<br> representation/scattering package is bench-marked against radiances<br> computed using a Maximum Random Overlap cloud scheme. All-sky infrared<br> radiances measured by NASA&rsquo;s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and<br> NWP thermodynamic and cloud profiles from the European Center for<br> Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) forecast model are used in<br> this paper.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Results of Improved SMAP Soil Moisture Retrieval Using a Deep Neural Network-based Replacement of Radiative Transfer and Roughness Model

<p>This repository contains:</p> <ol> <li>A deep neural network (DNN) based soil moisture (SM) estimates (NN) based on the SMAP TB (Descending, 6 AM) and SMAP SCA-V ancillary data as the input variables. (<a href="../api/records/13309165/draft/files/SMAP_NN_36km_20150331_20220326.nc/content" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SMAP_NN_36km_20150331_20220326.nc</a>)</li> <li>Temporally averaged roughness parameter (hNN) and scattering albedo (omegaNN) which are retrieved by inversely tracking the DNN model. (<a href="../api/records/13309165/draft/files/SMAP_hNN_omegaNN_36km_temporal_average_201503_202103.nc/content" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SMAP_hNN_omegaNN_36km_temporal_average_201503_202103.nc</a>)</li> </ol> <p>Summary:</p> <p>The DNN model has been developed by relating SMAP TB and SMAP SCA-V ancillary data with in-situ SM data from the international soil moisture network (ISMN) using DNN. To minimize scale mismatch between gridded SMAP data and point in-situ data, the triple collocation analysis was conducted.</p> <p>The SM estimated from the DNN algorithm (NN) showed a good agreement with the ISMN data that was not used in the model training. Moreover, for a densely vegetated region located in the Amazon (Tambopata site) the NN showed less bias compared to available SM retrievals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Two parameters hNN and omegaNN are retrieved by ingesting NN to the modified dual channel algorithm. When the SM retrieval was conducted using the hNN and omegaNN, the result showed good agreement with the NN (DNN-based SM) with R of 0.986, ubRMSD of 0.015 m3/m3, and bias of -0.001 m3/m3.</p> <p>The paper "Improved SMAP Soil Moisture Retrieval Using a Deep Neural Network-based Replacement of Radiative Transfer and Roughness Model" published in the Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing.</p> <p>For more details, please contact me (wotp12@unist.ac.kr)</p>
