Short summary
We develop a method to derive aerosol properties over land surfaces using simulated data from the ESA Sentinel-3 mission. The method aims to improve the estimation of aerosol optical depth and to explore the estimation of other aerosol properties using models. The method is tested using hyperspectral, multi-angle Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer images, and validated using ground-based sun-photometer measurements. Results show an improvement over the previous method.
