Accounting for 3D radiative effects in MODIS aerosol retrievals near clouds using CALIPSO observations

Retrieval of aerosol properties near clouds from passive remote sensing is challenging. Sunlight scattered by clouds into nearby clear regions can effectively enhance the clear area reflectance. These cloud 3D radiative effects may lead to large biases in aerosol retrievals if uncorrected, risking t...
