the participants / the task
• AATSR F v142• AATSR O v202/v2q2• AATSR S v040/v031• MERIS A v21• MERIS B v11• MERIS E 802• PARASOL v30
• MODIS_aqua c5.1
• MODIS_terrac5.1
• SEAWIFS• MISR v31• FBOV AOD (MODIS)• FMNG AOD & fine-fr
• evaluate for the year
2008 daily global AOD
and Angstrom data of
– aerosol-CCI retrievals
– MACC assimilations
• compare to
– AERONET / MAN
– MODIS (AOD)
the scoring concept
• rescale all data to a common 1x1 lat/lon grid
– establish 1x1 gridded AERONET daily data)
• identify local data pairs (satellite/model test
data versus AERONET reference data)
• require 10+ days with 10+ sites (spatial test) or
10+ sites with 10+ temporal records (time test)
to evaluate bias and correlation in any region
• both, a valid spatial score and a valid temporal
score, are required for a valid regional score
scoring steps
• establish regional scores (1: best, 0: poor)
– step1regional spatial score for each day• (rank) correlation and (rank) bias
– step2regional temporal score for each 1x1 • (rank) correlation and (rank) biast
– step3combined regional score• total score = bias * spat.corr * temp.corr
– step4combine regional to one global score• ‘single score’ from regional total scores
• investigated properties: AOD550, Angstrom
error / bias evaluation
• explore– total error = (1 - |score, total|)– bias error = (1 - |score, bias|)– spatial error = (1 - score, space)– temporal error = (1 - score, time)
score, total = score, bias * score, space * score, time
– bias•general direction ( + > test-data / - < test-data )•absolute bias (IQ test-data minus IQ reference)
• test vs AERONET: AOD, Angstrom• test vs MODIS, terra: AOD
