Citation Vendor Topic
Imagery has sufficient radiometric quality for enabling the retrieval of AOD at approximately 15 m spatial resolution Planet Aerosols
Could be used in efforts to refine and improve global cloud products Maxar Aerosols
Enabled synergistic research involving aerosols, clouds, and their interactions Maxar Aerosols
CAVIS imagery was found to be valuable for characterizing clouds at significantly higher resolution than MODIS/VIIRS Maxar Aerosols
Relatively coarser spatial resolution and sun glint contamination made the imagery less useful compared to Worldview sensors Maxar, Planet Ocean
