Cloud Optical Depth Retrieval

Cloud Optical Depth Retrieval is a methodological framework in atmospheric remote sensing that belongs to the class of cloud property inference techniques, distinguished by its specific aim of quantitatively estimating the cloud optical depth from satellite or ground-based radiometric measurements through inversion of radiative transfer models.
