Abstract
Using the NOAA-14 1-km Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-8) imager data, smoke aerosol optical thickness (τ) is retrieved over land during the Smoke, Clouds and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) experiment in Brazil during August–September 1995. The satellite-retrieved τ values are then compared against ground-based sunphotometer derived τ values from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) program. Both the AVHRR and GOES-8 retrieved τ values are in excellent agreement with the AERONET derived τ values with linear correlation coefficients of 0.93. A single scattering albedo of 0.90 (at 0.67
