Scientists propose deep learning method for atmospheric aerosol retrieval. A research team led by Prof. LI Zhengqiang from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their cooperators proposed an artificial neural network method for aerosol retrieval (NNAero) to jointly retrieve FMF and AOD derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The research was published in Remote Sensing of Environment: Xingfeng Chen et al. Joint retrieval of the aerosol fine mode fraction and optical depth using MODIS spectral reflectance over northern and eastern China: Artificial neural network method, Remote Sensing of Environment (2020).
