| Abstract | A network of five automated and two handheld solar radiometers were operated during the 1994 Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada, in order to characterize the atmospheric aerosol optical properties. These data were collected to allow for atmospheric correction of optical remote sensing data in the visible to short-wave infrared spectrum (0.4 to 3 /spl mu/m) and to characterize the aerosol climatology of the region. Aerosol optical thickness inferred from the direct solar irradiance measurement at the ground shows that the background conditions for the area are very clear in the absence of local aerosol sources with an aerosol optical thickness of /spl sim/0.1 at 500 nm. The northeastern portion of the BOREAS region was dominated by smoke from forest fires from early June to mid-September with values averaging above 1 at 500 nm in mid-July for extended periods. Size distributions derived from solar almucantar measurements show the predominance of small particles during smoke episodes when compared to that for background conditions. Measurements are continuing through 1995 to better characterize the climatology of aerosols and water vapor column abundance since the summer of 1994 was unusually warm and dry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
