Table 1. Retrieved sea-level aerosol optical depth 7,0 and linear decay rate c, (underline) in different XS bands by the robust 
algorithm. „and c are mean and standard deviation of derived surface reflectances of the selected pixels of hardwood. 
Also lists sensitivity of 4 and oto 7,0. ‘fail’ means that it fails to interpolate surface reflectance from the look-up table.
