Retrieval of atmospheric aerosol characteristics from satellite data, i.e. aerosol remote sensing, is based on the light scattering theory. The aerosol properties are estimated by comparing satellite measurements with the numerical values of radiation simulations in the Earth atmosphere model. This study was designed to develop an efficient algorithm to retrieve aerosol characteristics in aerosol events, which are associated with extreme concentrations of aerosols in the atmosphere such as a yellow-sand storm. It is known that the large increase in the optical thickness of the atmosphere during aerosol events prevents the use of sun/sky photometry from the surface level. However, space-based observations are possible for monitoring the atmospheric aerosols during such events. This study focuses on new algorithms being used to detect the event core with a high optical thickness and a simulation scheme for radiative transfer in the dense radiation field being employed. Finally, the practical application of our algorithms was tested using Aqua/MODIS data for a yellow-sand storm.

“…As mentioned above, the atmosphere of AOT (0.46 μ m) > 4 is optically semi-infinite. We propose calculating the reflectance R as a sum of the n th-order of reflection function R *( n ) [21, 22]:

\begin{matrix} R (Ω, Ω_{normal0}) = {false\sum}_{n = normal1}^{\infty} ω^{n} R^{*} (n : Ω, Ω_{normal0}), \end{matrix}

where n is the number of times of scattering, and ω represents single-scattering albedo. The n th-order reflection function R *( n : Ω , Ω 0 ) describes radiation emerging at the TOA after scattering n times within the atmosphere.…”

We investigate heavy haze episodes (with dense concentrations of atmospheric aerosols) occurring around Beijing in June, when serious air pollution was detected by both satellite and ground measurements. Aerosol retrieval is achieved by radiative transfer simulation in an Earth atmosphere model. We solve the radiative transfer problem in the case of haze episodes by successive order of scattering. We conclude that air pollution around Beijing in June is mainly due to increased emissions of anthropogenic aerosols and that carbonaceous aerosols from agriculture biomass burning in Southeast Asia also contribute to pollution.
