Modelled and measured effects of clouds on UV Aerosol Indices on a local, regional, and global scale

The UV Aerosol Indices (UVAI) form one of very few available tools in satellite remote sensing that provide information on aerosol absorption. The UVAI are also quite insensitive to surface type and are determined in the presence of clouds – situations where most aerosol retrieval algorithms do not...
