Cover Story: The retrieval of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) from remotely sensed data relies on the adopted aerosol model. However, the method of this technique has been rather limited because of the spatial variability in the aerosol properties over the land surfaces. In this study, we created a custom aerosol model using SKYNET observation data of aerosol volume size distribution and refractive indices, coupled with spectral response functions of satellite visible bands for the visibility-derived AOT estimation from satellite images under clear-sky conditions.

Studying the spatiotemporal distribution and motion of water vapour (WV), the most variable greenhouse gas in the troposphere, is pivotal, not only for meteorology and climatology, but for geodesy, too. In fact, WV variability degrades, in an unpredi...
