Tóm tắt

This paper presents, for the first time, retrievals of aerosol optical depths from Multi‐angle Imaging Spectro‐Radiometer (MISR) observations over land. Application of the MISR operational algorithm to data taken over southern Africa during the SAFARI‐2000 dry season campaign yields results that compare favorably with coincident surface‐based measurements taken by the AERONET radiometer network.
