Retrieval of aerosol optical properties over Chiba land area from Landsat/TM imagery : Part I: Determination of spatial distribution of aerosol optical thickness

[ABSTRACT] Satellite remote sensing data provide information on two-dimensional distributions of both the surface albedo and optical thickness of the atmosphere. In this work, we report the method of separating the contributions of the surface albedo and aerosol optical thickness from Landsat-5 TM visible-band data taken over the Chiba urban area. We focus on the determination of surface albedo from the data observed on a relatively clear day. It is shown that when the aerosol optical thickness is small, the atmospheric correction is not greatly affected by the aerosol model employed. The resulting surface albedo distribution from the clear day, in turn, is used to determine the aerosol distribution from the turbid image in the same season.
