Improved aerosol optical depth and Ångstrom exponent retrieval over land from MODIS based on the non-Lambertian forward model by Yang, Leiku, Xue, Yong, Guang, Jie, Kazemian, Hassan, Zhang, Jiahua, Li, Chi

“…This new algorithm was applied to MODIS measurements of the whole year of 2008 over Eastern China. By comparing the results with that of AERONET, we found that the accuracy of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval was improved with the regression plots concentrating around the 1 : 1 line and two-thirds falling within the expected error (EE) envelope EE = ±0.05 ± 0.1τ (from 53.6% with L_FM to 68.7% with NL_FM at band 0.55 μm). …”
