Inaccurate determination of these parameters is one of the causes of error in the retrieval of remote-sensed reflectance spectra. In this work, a large array of field and satellite data measured in Sevastopol and the northeastern part of the Black Sea were used, including ship-based measurements of atmospheric characteristics and sea reflectance, MODIS Aqua\/Terra, and VIIRS NOAA\/NPP Level 2 remote-sensed reflectance and atmospheric data. In total, three episodes of Saharan dust transfer over the Black Sea region were considered, mainly in the autumn-winter period. The purpose of this study was to show the numerical differences between the atmospheric parameters measured at the surface level and by satellites, and show their relationship with the differences between in situ and satellite remote-sensed reflectance. Based on the information identified, we propose an algorithm for additional correction of satellite level 2 data that uses a two-parametric model of the Black Sea remote-sensed reflectance as a first approximation. Moreover, additional correction significantly reduces the discrepancy between in situ and retrieved remote-sensed reflectance, especially in short-wave spectral bands.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14081890","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,19]],"date-time":"2022-04-19T02:39:31Z","timestamp":1650335971000},"page":"1890","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Why Is It Important to Consider Dust Aerosol in the Sevastopol and Black Sea Region during Remote Sensing Tasks?
