SAM computes and displays Optical
Depth, Angle Forward scattering, and Partial Size
Distribution approximately every 10 sec
In this
figure the first and the last observations from
the above plots was used to fit a power-law curve
to derive particle effective radius:
Power-law
slope of the data is an indication of What?

SAM computational process:
Clouds scatter
solar radiation
SAM measures radiance
of the solar disk with very
high dynamic range producing:
Disk and Aureole
Radiance Profile and
Particle Size Distribution
that
is
used in modelling and atmospheric calibration
The magnitude and shape of the solar
aureole radiance is diagnostic of the cloud
optical properties (forward
scattering, FS); the measurement thereof and the optical
depth
(OD) are important measurements for cloud and climate
research.
