Aerosol retrieval algorithm flowchart. A first iteration is carried out at reference target pixels with a known spectral surface reflectance. This helps to constrain the unknown variables and to find the appropriate aerosol model. The following iterations continue with this aerosol model and retrieve AOD at dark pixels, where the influence of the error in surface reflectance is relatively small.
