Short summary
A global AOD product from Particulate Observing Scanning Polarimeter (POSP) has been proposed and validated using Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Results show a high accuracy, with correlation coefficients (R) of 0.914, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.085, outperforming Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Error analysis reveals seasonal variation with lower accuracy in autumn/winter, and increased uncertainty with lower Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI.
