AB: During the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-Phase B/Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations (INTEX-B/MILAGRO) the NASA's Cloud Absorption Radiometer (CAR) flew aboard the Jetstream-31 and measured the spectral and angular distribution of scattered light by clouds and aerosols, and provided bidirectional reflectance of various surfaces, and imagery of cloud and Earth surface features. From these measurements, we have selected several cases including Mexico City for determination of aerosol optical properties, surface bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and spectral albedo from a combination of several datasets: CAR, AERONET and Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS).
