文摘

VIIRSEDR aerosol algorithm is sensitive to water quality, while SARA is not. VIIRSEDR AOD over/underestimates over turbid/clear water. MODIS3K and VIIRSEDR have similar uncertainty in AOD retrievals over water. SARA has lower uncertainty in AOD retrievals than MODIS3K and VIIRSEDR. SARA AOD correlates well with Microtops II AOD over different water quality levels.
