在氣溶膠光學厚度反演結果之應用則包括衛星影像之大氣校正，以獲取正確的地表資訊，增進衛星遙測地球資源之能力與應用層次。此外，在空氣品質監測的應用亦為本研究重點之一，其最重要的兩個步驟包括高精度大氣氣溶膠光學厚度之取得，以及具代表性的氣溶膠粒徑參數之建立，均可由本研究獲得。為尋求有效且具代表性之氣溶膠粒徑參數，本研究分析三年多的地面觀測資料，建立北台灣地區具代表性且穩定之各季節氣溶膠平均粒徑的參數資料，克服隨時間變化劇烈的粒徑分布之難題，以提供衛星資料在檢測空氣品質及大氣環境等相關研究之應用。應用結果顯示，除在衛星影像之大氣校正獲得極佳的結果外，亦證實利用衛星觀測資料檢測空氣品質具極高之可行性，並可建立台灣地區之即時空氣品質檢(監)測系統。
