Speeding up the aerosol optical thickness retrieval using analytical solutions of radiative transfer theory

We present here the aerosol retrieval technique FAR that uses radiative transfer computations in the process of retrieval rather than look-up tables (LUT). This approach provides operational satellite data processing due to the use of the accurate and extremely fast radiative transfer code RAY previ...
