In the present work we estimate the aerosols optical thickness (AOT) in the wavelength of 0.55µm using the mod021km - level 1B Calibrated Radiances - 1km images as input of the SBDART radiative transfer model [1]. The study area is Peru in the geographic latitudes 0 to 20°S and the geographic longitudes of 82 to 68°O. The SBDART model simulates the radiative transfer in the atmosphere (scattering, absorption, emission, etc.), estimating the irradiance in the top of the atmosphere and on the Earth surface. The two-stream and Eddington approximations are used to solve the radiative transfer equation, considering a parallel plane atmosphere. This model generate equations defining the AOT of 0.55µm as a function of the reflectance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) for the band 1 at 0.66µm of the MODIS sensor.The 0.55 µm AOT estimated by the SBDART model was verify with the 0.55µm A...
