The monitoring of earth resources is based on an analysis of reflected and emitted radiance from the ground as received by satellite borne remote sensors. Transient atmospheric effects, such as clouds, and haze, interfere with earth resource monitoring activities by altering the detected values of reflected and emitted radiance. The present study is concerned with the effects of El Chichon volcanic ash on atmospheric haze as measured by the NOAA7 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data over south Texas. Experimental procedures and results are discussed. Ground-collected direct irradiance measurements and visible and infrared radiance from the NOAA7 AVHRR showed that the El Chichon volcanic eruptive products increased the atmospheric haze over south Texas. 11 references.
