Study of Aerosol Influence on Nighttime Land Surface Temperature Retrieval Based on Two Methods

Figure 5

Differences (ΔBT) between aerosol-contaminated TOA BT (visibility = 3, 8, 13, 18 km, resp.) and that aerosol-free TOA BT (visibility = 23 km) under wet atmosphere including urban aerosol type. The deviation bars are centred on the mean of the temperature difference (denoted by the symbols in the figure), and the half-length of each bar is equal to the standard deviation of ΔBT.
