Aerosol Retrieval from Airborne Multi-angle Polarized Measurements in Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Region

Abstract

Abstract:

The Advanced Atmosphere Multi-angle Polarization Radiometer (AMPR) was developed by Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It provides multi-spectral, multi-angle and polarized data and can be used in the aerosol optical parameters detection. AMPR can be equipped on remote sensing plane to detect aerosol. Industry in Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan area are developed well, the observation of aerosol in the region are representative. In inversion process, the underlying surface polarization reflectance was obtained by atmospheric correction of observation data at 1640 nm waveband. Combined with the look-up table method and the utilization of multi-angle, multi-band and polarization information, aerosol optical thickness was obtained. After the comparison of inversion results and the synchronous ground observation data, the results show that AMPR has the ability to observe aerosol in typical region.

Key words: airborne observation, polarization, aerosol, Advanced Atmosphere Multi-angle Polarization Radiometer
