In Atmospheric and Environmental Remote Sensing Data Processing and Utilization: Numerical Atmospheric Prediction and Environmental Monitoring, 31 Jul. 2005, San Diego, Cal., Proc. SPIE, vol. 5547, pp. 111, doi:10.1117/12.560097.Determination of aerosol optical depth from satellite remote sensing measurements is extremely complex due to the large variability of aerosol optical properties. Significant simplification occurs when measurements are taken over water since the ocean reflection signal can be taken as negligible in the NIR.. Unfortunately, over land, most of the signal can be attributed to ground reflectance. While conventional approaches look for "dark" pixels in an image to isolate aerosols, these pixels are subjected to increased noise. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of a regression approach utilizing correlations between the VNIR and MIR channels to extract the aerosol reflection signal over urban areas. This approach is applied to hyperspectral high resolution Hyperion data where the aerosol reflectance signal is shown to agree very well with coincident Aeronet derived reflectance spectra. Comparisons between the regression technique and dark pixel thresholding clearly exhibit the improvement using regression methods. Finally, practical spatial resolution concerns are explored and specifications of the GOES-R imager are assessed.
