Slant Visual Range Retrieval and Analysis With Multisource Satellite Observations and SBDART Model (opens in new tab)

Atmospheric visibility assessment from space remains challenging due to the complex aerosol-radiation interactions and observation geometry effects. This study presents a methodology for retrieving slant visual range (SVR) by using multisource remote sensing datasets integrated with radiative transfer modeling. The vertical aerosol profiles (AEROPs) from the aerosol and carbon detection lidar (ACDL) aboard the Daqi-1 (DQ-1) satellite, atmospheric profiles (ATMSPs) from ERA5 reanalysis, and su...
