Abstract. In order to have a good estimate of the current forcing by anthropogenic aerosols, knowledge on past aerosol levels is needed. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) measure for loading. However, dedicated measurements AOD are only available from 1990s onward. One option lengthen time series beyond retrieve surface solar radiation (SSR) taken with pyranometers. this work, we evaluated several inversion methods designed task. We compared look-up table method based radiative transfer modelling,...
