Scene-Level Meteorological Predictors Are Insufficient for AOD550 Estimation: A Baseline Study Toward Hyperspectral Data Fusion
Advanced Intelligent Systems and AI: 47AI 2026
This study investigates whether coarse scene-level meteorological variables alone are sufficient for estimating aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (AOD550), an important indicator of atmospheric aerosol burden widely used in climate, air quality, and environmental monitoring research. Although meteorological variables are frequently incorporated into aerosol-related…
