Aerosol Optical Thickness Retrieval over Land: the Atmospheric Correction Based on the Meris L2 Reflectance
نویسندگان
چکیده
RESUME The MERIS L2 reflectance of the data product requires over land surface an atmospheric correction for the aerosol effect. For this purpose the determination of aerosol optical thickness will be done by the BAER (Bremen AErosol Retrieval) approach, modified for this type of data product. Validation and application of the retrieval of spectral aerosol optical thickness and its application for the determination of atmospherically corrected spectral surface reflectance will be demonstrated.

Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...
متن کاملValidation of SCIAMACHY top-of-atmosphere reflectance for aerosol remote sensing using MERIS L1 data
Aerosol remote sensing is very much dependent on the accurate knowledge of the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance measured by a particular instrument. The status of the calibration of such an instrument is reflected in the quality of the aerosol retrieval. Current data of the SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY) instrument (operated with the data pr...
متن کاملA Method for Aerosol Retrieval from the Spectral Variation in the Visible and Near Infrared. Application to the MERIS Sensor
The signal recorded by the sensor contains information relative both to the atmosphere and the surface. Atmospheric correction is necessary to extract the surface reflectance required within biophysical algorithms used to estimate canopy characteristics. Aerosol characteristics are the most difficult to evaluate because they vary rapidly with time and space. The objective is to develop an auton...
متن کاملA Technique for Aerosol Retrieval over Land from Meris Data
In this paper we present an aerosol retrieval over land algorithm specifically designed for the ENVISAT MERIS sensor, with the aim of the atmospheric correction of the data. The fundamental basis lies on a multiple parameter inversion for spectrally heterogeneous sets of five pixels in a window inside the image, considering invariant the atmosphere in this window. In the modellization of the To...
