Short summary
This work investigates the aerosol remote sensing capabilities offered by the new Meteosat Third Generation-Imager geostationary satellite. First, aerosol load retrieval performance is demonstrated based on realistic synthetic data. Second, the potential for aerosol type characterization is proven, with the estimation of fine mode fraction. This work opens pathways for the future study of diurnal aerosol variations from space thanks to the high temporal resolution of geostationary satellites.
