Does acolite output aerosol optical thickness (AOT)?
Hello, I am wondering if acolite output aerosol optical thickness (AOT). anyone knows?
Re: Does acolite output aerosol optical thickness (AOT)?
If you use the default fixed DSF option there should be an aerosol optical thickness (ac_aot550) in the NetCDF global attributes. For the tiled processing there is currently no AOT output, but you can output the path reflectance by specifying dsf_write_tiled_parameters in your settings file.

Hi, Quinton
I just find there is a key called ac_mode_char valued "M" in the output global attributes. What does it mean? aerosol type?

Yes! M is the "Maritime" and C the "Continental" model from 6SV. You can find some information on these models here: http://6s.ltdri.org/pages/manual.html
