ASSESSING HOURLY AEROSOL PROPERTY RETRIEVAL FROM MSG/SEVIRI OBSERVATIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF AEROSOL_CCI2

摘要

A new algorithm has been designed for the joint retrieval of surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness over land and sea surfaces. This algorithm is applied on MSG/SEVIRI data for the retrieval of hourly aerosol optical thickness. This paper examines the daily and seasonal variations of the Jacobians and their impact on the AOT retrieval.
