Popis: By fitting with the aerosol optical depth (AOD) from AERONET ground observations at sites in Beijing, Xianghe, and Xinglong with different environmental backgrounds, MODIS C051 Dark Target (DT C051), C006 Dark Target (DT C006), C006 Deep Blue (DB C006), and C006 Deep Blue/Dark Target merged AOD products were compared and evaluated to understand their applicability in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The main conclusions are as follows:① The comparison of the C051 and C006 algorithms shows that the accuracy of the AOD at the Beijing and Xianghe sites notably improved, while an improvement was not observed at the Xinglong site; the DB C006 AOD is closest to the AERONET AOD at the Beijing site and the DT C006 AOD is closest to the AERONET AOD at the Xianghe site; the combined C006 AOD is closest to the AERONET AOD at the Xinglong site. ② The inversion error of the MODIS DT C006 at the Beijing site is caused by the improper selection of the aerosol model and surface reflectance; the inversion error of the MODIS DB C006 is mainly due to surface reflectance in spring and the aerosol model in winter. ③ Compared with the DT C051 AOD, the effective data coverage of the DT C006 is reduced, but that of DB C006 and the combined C006 increased; the combined C006 AOD data have the largest coverage. The results show that the application of the combined AOD product is best for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
