Abstract/Summary:
he sunlight entering the earth atmosphere interacts with gas molecules and aerosols suspended in the atmosphere. Based on the fact that the radiances exiting the top and bottom of the atmosphere contain the information of the basic optical properties of the atmosphere, an algorithm which inverts the radiances measured from the sea surface and from high-altitude aircraft (or satellite) to yield the aerosol single scattering albedo...
