There are currently few studies on aerosol optical depth (AOD) inversion from FY-4A AGRI data. Based on AGRI data, a new land AOD retrieval algorithm called the band ratio library (BRL) algorithm was proposed in this study. The monthly average surface reflectance band ratio library was established after obtaining the relationship of band surface reflectance ratio from the MODIS combined AOD dataset. In order to calculate the hourly AOD, look-up tables (LUT) for the various aerosol models were constructed using the 6SV model. We quantitatively compared AOD produced from AGRI data with AERONET ground observations to validate the BRL algorithm. AGRI-retrieved AOD is in good agreement with AOD measured by AERONET, which has a correlation coefficient of R is 0.84, the linear regression function is AODAGRI = 0.80 \u2217 AODAERONET \u2212 0.004, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) is 0.16, and approximately 60% of the AGRI AOD results fall within the uncertain range of AOD = \u00b1(0.2 \u00d7 AODAERONET + 0.05). A cross-comparison was made with the MODIS AOD product provided by NASA. The comparison and verification show the proposed algorithm has a good accuracy of land AOD estimation from AGRI data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14194861","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]],"date-time":"2022-09-29T23:09:29Z","timestamp":1664492969000},"page":"4861","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A Simple Band Ratio Library (BRL) Algorithm for Retrieval of Hourly Aerosol Optical Depth Using FY-4A AGRI Geostationary Satellite Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9185-9237","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xingxing","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"School of Computing and Engineering, University of Derby, Derby DE22 1GB, UK"},{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6469-7017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunlin","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2412-6535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7480-4058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuxin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]},{"given":"Shuhui","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Lenoble, J., Remer, L., and Tanre, D.
