TL;DR: The 6S code has still limitations; it cannot handle spherical atmosphere and as a result, it cannot be used for limb observations, and the decoupling the authors are using for absorption and scattering effects does not allow to use the code in presence of strong absorption bands.

TL;DR: An attempt to enhance aerosol retrieval by emphasizing statistical optimization in inversion of advanced satellite observations to provide satellite retrieval of higher consistency, because the retrieval over each single pixel will be benefiting from coincident aerosol information from neighboring pixels.

TL;DR: In this paper, an aerosol index defined as the product AI = δα 0 is proposed for remote sensing of aerosols over land surfaces, which can systematically correct for the ground contribution whereas the classical approach using natural light fails.

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral, angular and polarization properties of the radiance at the top of the atmosphere at the A-Train were measured using the POLDER (POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) instrument on board the PARASOL (Polarization & Anisotropy of Reflectances for Atmospheric Sciences coupled with Observations from a Lidar) mission.

TL;DR: Polarization and directionality of the Earth's Reflectances (POLDER) is a new instrument devoted to the global observation of the polarization and directional of solar radiation reflected by the Earth-atmosphere system as mentioned in this paper.
