Optical_Depth_Ratio_Small_Ocean_0.55micron: is the fraction of AOT (at 0.55 micron) contributed by fine mode for average solution. 2. Optical_Depth_Small_Average_Ocean: is the retrieved optical thic...

Do you happen to know of studies that have made an effort to filter these other light sources from the dail...
