Description:
Simulation multiangle imagery have been used to investigate the capabilities of a novel method for retrieval of atmospheric aerosol optical properties over land; this method employs spatial contrasts within the imagery and compares the spatial Fourier transforms of the multiangle images at zero and nonzero spatial frequencies. While requiring the definition of a relationship between the angular variation of the Fourier transform of the intrinsic surface angular reflectance at the zero and nonzero frequencies, the method assumes no a priori knowledge about aerosols or surface characteristics. Sensitivities to various aerosol properties are assessed.
