Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth in the Arid or Semiarid Region of Northern Xinjiang, China

Satellite remote sensing has been widely used to retrieve aerosol optical depth (AOD), which is an indicator of air quality as well as radiative forcing. The dark target (DT) algorithm is applied to low reflectance areas, such as dense vegetation, and the deep blue (DB) algorithm is adopted for brig...
