Influences due to aerosol particles (Including Yellow Sands), water vapor on a skin sea surface temperature (SSST) estimation for the proposed iteration method for SSST retrieval

Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) in the thermal infrared wavelength region is expressed as a Fred Holm type of integral equation and is essentially non-linear so that it is not easy to solve in general. Linearized inversion and iterative methods are introduced to solve the RTE. As results of the sensitivity analysis of aerosol particles on RTE, it is found that the most sensitive aerosol type is navy maritime followed by maritime, urban, desert, rural and tropospheric aerosols if the meteorological ranges are totally identical. In addition to that, it is also found that Skin Sea Surface Temperature (SSST) estimation error is sensitive to the altitude of the dust type of aerosl particles
