Short summary
A new snow/snowmelt screening approach – combining a normalized difference snow index (NDSI)- and brightness temperature (BT)-based snow test, snow adjacency test and spatial filter – is proposed to significantly reduce the snow/snowmelt contamination in the NOAA’s operational Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aerosol optical depth (AOD) product, particularly over Northern Hemisphere high-latitude regions during spring thaw.
