Abstract

The Yonsei AErosol Retrieval Algorithm (YAER) has been developed and improved for application with geostationary satellite-based imagers such as the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) and Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI). In this study its application was extended to the Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI) and Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI). With the 12 AMI and 11 AGRI infrared channels, the observed data from both sensors can mask bright pixels with considerable accuracy. Detection of cirrus cloud pixels is more accurate with the AMI and AGRI than with other imagers (e.g., GOCI, AHI), as the former have a 1.3 μm shortwave infrared channel. Despite there being two visible channels in AGRI and three in AMI, retrieved aerosol optical depth products are qualitatively consistent with Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) data. Retrieval of aerosol properties with the AMI and AGRI YAER algorithm will enhance the aerosol monitoring capability of GOCI and AHI systems, both spatially and temporally.
