Experimental analysis of the relationship between optical thickness and sky radianceData are reported from simultaneous measurements of sky radiance and aerosol optical thickness using a transmissometer tuned to seven bands between 441-872 nm. The measurements were made near Washington, DC in February and November 1985 in generally cloud-free conditions. The data indicated that satellite radiance measurements in one band would be highly correlated with AEC values in other bands, suggesting that transmission and reflection of sunlight in nonabsorbing gaseous bands is highly correlated with path radiance.
