Abstract

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a key parameter reflecting aerosol properties, and it is inevitable to mosaic multi-orbit data while making AOD datasets in some situations due to the limitation in scanning width of various instruments. This article summarizes some conventional methods eliminating seams of mosaic images, and introduces the idea of combining the Gaussian dispersion model into mosaic process in the AOD retrieval case. In this article, we elaborate the principle of the Gauss plume model and put forward the improved method. Based on the AOD products from the Synergetic Retrieval of Aerosol Properties (SRAP) model from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, we conduct experiments on improved methods, and evaluate the processing effect.
