Validation of Aerosol Optical Depth from HJ-1 CCD Retrievals

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study compares the aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the HJ-1 CCD cameras with ground-based measurements of AEROSOL ROBOTIC NETWORK (AERONET). The results indicate that the HJ-1 CCD AOD retrievals at 550 nm have good correlations with the ground-based measurements. This validation study indicates that the HJ-1 CCD AOD retrievals can adequately characterize the AOD distributions over the dense dark vegetation region of China. This AOD product can act an important role to study air pollution.
