Determination of aerosol optical depth from ground measurements
Abstract
The methods used to determine the aerosol optical depth as a function of wavelength are briefly described and discussed. Some results from the operational network of the World Meteorological Organization and other, more research oriented studies, are reviewed and critically analysed to assess the reliability and accuracy of such determinations and their value as ground truth measurements for space applications.
