Rayleigh optical thickness for airborne sensors
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2021 5:30 am America/New_York
Dear EARTHDATA Forumn,
I learned that NASA Ocean Color provides Rayleigh optical thickness for satellite sensors (VIIRS, SeaWiFS and MODIS) at different bands. My question is that is it possible to interpolate the Rayleigh optical thickness from a satellite altitude to an airborne sensor altitude, for example the CASI-1500 sensor with an altitude of 2 km? Or do you know how to calculate the Rayleigh optical thickness for the CASI-1500 sensor?
Thanks,
Mengmeng.
