This image shows another close-up view of the profile of CALIPSO total attenuated backscatter from 2006-06-15. The view is looking eastward over eastern India. The Himalayan Mountains are on the left. The near- horizontal line in the foreground marks the 90 degree east longitude.

Abstract:
|
|
Aerosols, small particles in the atmosphere, can be produced from natural sources, such as volcanos and dust storms, or from human activity, such as pollution from manufacturing and automobiles. Aerosols remain in the atmosphere for long periods and travel across the globe propelled by winds. They also affect weather and climate by reflecting or absorbing sunlight and by altering chemical reactions within the atmosphere. The CALIOP lidar onboard the CALIPSO satellite enables scientists to collect aerosol data on slices or 'curtains' through the atmosphere. In these images looking east across India over the Himalayan Mountains and Bangladesh, slices of total attenuated backscatter show the geographic location and altitude of both aerosols and subvisible clouds in the upper troposphere. The curtain shown here extends from sea level to a height of 20 km. Both the height of the curtain and the terrain are exaggerated by 6x.
