Machine-learning-based correction model improves satellite-based atmospheric aerosol estimates

A new type of machine-learning-based correction model resulted in the most accurate atmospheric aerosol estimate in the study.

The method is also well suited for improving the spatial resolution of satellite-based data. More accurate data can be used to estimate air quality even at the street level.
