Abstract

A new atmospheric correction method of earth observation images based on the combination of satellite data and lidar data is proposed in this paper. A mobile scanning Mie lidar was developed to detect the aerosols´ spatial and temporal distribution for the purpose above. To obtain more accurate data, future development plan of a multi-wavelength, multi-channel Raman lidar is discussed. Earth observation images processed by the radiative transfer model and this new method are presented. Also issues to approach the final goal of this new atmospheric correction method are discussed.
