Disadvantages exist when monitoring aerosol from HJ-1 data by dark dense vegetation (DDV) or contrast reduction algorithm. In this paper, based on the algorithm which was developed by Hsu, et al.(2004), the deep blue algorithm is applied to CCD/HJ-1. First, the database of land surface reflectance is built from MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) spectral reflectance product. Second, after analyzing relationship between CCD camera reflectance and MODIS, the reflectance of MODIS are corrected to CCD camera of HJ-1. Third, aerosol optical depth (AOD) is retrieved from apparent reflectance in the first band of CCD/HJ-1. Finally, AODs over Beijing area are retrieved from December 2008 to October 2009, and the results are validated by ground-based measurement of Beijing station in the PHOtometrie pour le Traitement Operational de Normalisation Satellitaire (PHOTONS) network included in the worldwide Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). The validation and discussions show that, when AODs are greater than 0.5, the accuracy of deep blue algorithm can satisfy the aerosol monitoring using HJ-1 data, and aerosol model can greatly influence the results.Read More
