BAER

Spectral aerosol optical thickness is retrieved simultaneously with the determination of spectral ground reflectance by the Bremen AErosol Retrieval (Baer). The retrieval of AOT provides for 7 short-wave channels of the MERIS instrument the spectral behaviour of AOT, which is used for the determination of the spectral slope in terms of the Ångström -parameter. Ångström is obtained using AOT, retrieved from the 7 MERIS channels with wavelength 0.665 µm.
