Contemporary scientists have vested interest in trying to understand the climatology of the North Atlantic Basin since this region is considered as the genesis for hurricane formation that eventually get shipped to the tropical Atlantic region and the Caribbean. The effects of atmospheric water cycle and the climate of West Africa and the Atlantic basin are hugely impacted by the radiative forcing of Saharan dust. The focus area in this paper would be to improve the dust detection schemes by employing the use of multi sensor measurements in the thermal emissive wavelengths using legacy sensors such as Terra (T) and Aqua (A) MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), fusing with Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI).

Article Synopsis
- The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a key Earth observation tool on the Terra and Aqua satellites, successfully operating beyond their initial design lifespans.
- MODIS has a high duty cycle, allowing it to capture data from almost the entire Earth in under 2 days, utilizing specialized thermal bands for detailed measurements.
- The paper evaluates calibration and noise performance using various techniques, including measuring temperature stability and noise metrics, to ensure accurate data collection from the sensor's thermal emissive bands.
