The Sensitivity of AOD Retrieval to Aerosol Type and Vertical Distribution over Land with MODIS Data

The Sensitivity of AOD Retrieval to Aerosol Type and Vertical Distribution over Land with MODIS Data

This study is to evaluate the sensitivity of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD τ) to aerosol vertical profile and type, using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) collection 6 algorithm over land. Four experiments were performed, using different aerosol properties including 3 possible...
