An improved method for retrieving nighttime aerosol optical thickness from the VIIRS Day/Night Band

An improved method for retrieving nighttime aerosol optical thickness from the VIIRS Day/Night Band

Using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) data, a method, dubbed the "variance method", is developed for retrieving nighttime aerosol optical thickness (τ) values through the examination of the dispersion of radiance values above an artificial lig...
