SeaWiFS Ocean Aerosol Retrieval (SOAR): Algorithm, validation, and comparison with other data sets

The Sea‐viewing Wide Field‐of‐view Sensor (SeaWiFS) provides a well‐calibrated 13‐year (1997–2010) record of top‐of‐atmosphere radiance, suitable for use in retrieval of atmospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD). This paper presents and validates a SeaWiFS Ocean Aerosol Retrieval (SOAR) algorithm, whi...
