Abstract :
This work is devoted to studies of the influence of the molecular-aerosol coupling on the scalar approximation-based aerosol satellite remote sensing procedures in the ultraviolet-near-infrared spectral range. It was found that the coupling error must be accounted in the aerosol remote sensing problems based on the analysis of the backscattered ultraviolet light.
