Vertical variation of dust and its impact on the top of the atmosphere brightness temperature in the midwave infrared

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the vertical distribution of dust and its impact on the top of the atmosphere radiance and associated remotely sensed thermal variability in the midwave infrared wavelengths. Due to the inconsistent availability and coincidence of in-situ data with dus...
