Abstract :
We proposed a new method for retrieving local aerosol optical parameters, such as the real part of refractive index, optical thickness, and Ångström exponent, using the ADEOS/POLDER data. The retrieved results agreed well with the simultaneous sky observation data. The real part of the refractive index of aerosol particles was retrieved
