摘要：We retrieved the aerosol optical thickness τ a over Japan from several data sets of Terra/ASTER and Landsat-7/ETM+ using the empirical band correlation method. This band correlation method for aerosol retrieval was originally proposed for MODIS data analysis by Kaufman et al.(1977) 1) . The empirical band correlation of surface reflectance for certain land categories in Japan between the visible and infrared bands were computed using several data sets of Terra/MODIS in 2002 and 2003, together with the observed sky radiometer data. The results of retrieved aerosol optical thickness τ a were validated with the simultaneous sky observation data at our study site. We found a good agreement between the retrieved and observed values
