Retrieval of aerosol mass load (PM<sub>10</sub>) from MERIS/Envisat top of atmosphere spectral reflectance measurements over Germany

Results of a new methodology for retrievals of surface particulate matter concentration (PM<sub>10</sub>) from satellite reflectance measurements over Germany are presented in this paper. The retrieval derives effective radii from Ångström-α exponents and benefits from the fitting of a s...
