Abstract

Satellite remote sensing of dust aerosol depth is quite significant for practical application. In this paper, airborne dust AOD is retrieved from the hyperspectral observed data of the Atmospheric Infra-Red Sounder (AIRS) by using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method which is first proposed by L Kuser in 2011. According to the analysis, 8.8-12 infrared observation can be used for dust aerosol retrieval. This method took advantage of the spectral shape of dust extinction and surface and atmospheric influence over the total 8.8–12μm window band. Though the proper linear combination of the singular vectors, dust signal was finally distinguish from the influence of surface emissivity and gas absorption. Then dust AOD of Beijing areas was retrieved to validate this method. As a result, the inversion by using SVD is good with ground-based observations of Aerosol Observation Network (AERONET) data, where their correlation coefficient is 0.9891. In contrast to the traditional physical methods, this method takes advantage of the statistics without losing the physical meaning.
