(aod380, aod500)[source]¶ Approximate broadband aerosol optical depth.
Bird and Hulstrom developed a correlation for broadband aerosol optical depth (AOD) using two wavelengths, 380 nm and 500 nm.
Parameters: - aod380 : numeric
AOD measured at 380 nm
- aod500 : numeric
AOD measured at 500 nm
Returns: - aod_bb : numeric
broadband AOD
