Algorithm for Retrieving Atmospheric Aerosol Properties by Multispectral Data of Remote Sensing

Аннотация

An algorithm for the retrieval of aerosol parameters by multispectral satellite measurements of the reflectance of solar radiation reflected by a cloudless atmosphere is presented. A model brightness reflectance is used in the form of a polynomial-fractional function of the chosen parameters (aerosol and Rayleigh optical depths, single scattering albedo of aerosol, cosine of the zenith angle of the Sun, and albedo of the Earth’s surface). Results of testing the retrieval algorithm on model problems are presented.
